Description: | A copper-alloy belt mount or harness decoration of post-medieval date. The form of this piece suggests that it may be a representation of a bird.
The plate is sub-oval in plan, being slightly broader at the top and tapering to a point at the bottom. The convex upper surface of the plate is decorated with a pair of indented parallel lines, which are located just below the centre and angled slightly downwards. A third line of the same orientation is located a short distance from the bottom of the plate. A small knob, with a rounded upper edge and terminal point, extends at right angles from the top of the plate. On the reverse are two integral copper-alloy rivets, both of which are bent outwards.
The object measures 29.8mm long 14.8mm wide and 5.5mm thick; it weighs 4.52g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
