Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting.
The fitting is shaped like a single looped buckle, with moulded decoration, but it has three attachment spikes on the reverse, one of which is broken. All three have been soldered into place. One is positioned on the outer edge of the frame. The other two are either side of the 'strap bar' - pointing inwards.
These would have held the mount onto either wood or leather. There is corrosion on both sides.
The metal is a mid greyish-green colour.
This fitting is probably medieval to early post-medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Clifford, Trista - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
