Description: | A cast copper alloy composite strap fitting.
The object consists of a triangular shaped plate of copper alloy, the plate tapers before looping around on itself to form a closed loop. Inside this loop a flattened circular sectioned copper alloy ring has been placed. The ring moves freely in the loop. The plate has a wide decorative terminal on the opposite end. The terminal has been shaped with two pointed lobes.
Two empty rivet holes can be seen in a line on the plate.
The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour and is worn and corroded.
Parallels can be seen in Read, p94, Fig: 20, 14.
These fittings date to the 16th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
