Description: | Cast copper alloy belt fitting, length 28mm, width 11mm, thickness 5mm, weight 2.86. Rectangular plate with a rounded forward edge, with a knop terminal, this may be an acorn but it is very corroded.
The opposite terminal is a concave triangle with a rectangular projection in the centre giving the same shape as the attachment end of a barbed and tanged arrowhead. The sides gently narrow towards the forward edge. Decoration on the top consists of a series of symmetrical curvilinear symmetrical vine motifs. The top surface has been gilt with most of the gold remaining, whilst the underside has been left untreated. There are two integral lugs on the underside. The overall condition is fair, the edges are corroded and there is some encrusting in the surface, the underside has suffered from corrosion with most of the lugs missing as a result. These artefacts are dated to the 17th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Adams, Kurt - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
