Description: | Medieval copper alloy strap end 36mm long and 34mm wide. The object is in good condition with a brown patina and weighs 9.82 grams. The object is made up of a one sheet which is folded to form a V shape. Each terminal has a triangular upper shaped surface with a rivet in its centre. The lower part has a rectangular decorated base. The base has a central trefoil protrusion one side of uts upper edge and is decorated with two sets of incised diagonal lines running from a central vertical incised line. The other side may have once had trefoil decoration but is now missing. Below this it is incised with three crossing lines which may form a Chi Rho? The object is very similar to fig. 575 in Egan, Medieval dress accessories. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
