Description: | A very worn and corroded cast copper alloy strap end, dating from the 12th ?? early 14th century. The strap end comprises one plate of copper alloy which has been split in order to allow the leather strap to sit inside it. Two iron rivets remain in situ in the open end. Both are very corroded. The open end of the strap end is very corroded and damaged. The strap end is roughly rectangular in shape, but now the edges are very corroded.
The front surface of the strap end depicts a Black letter style capital letter M. The M is surrounded by an incised linear border. The reverse is undecorated.
The metal is a mid greyish-green colour, but much of the original surface has been lost. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
