Description: | Medieval rectangular outer plate of composite strap-end. The front is white-metal coated and decorated with two sheet appliqu??s, both secured by a single rivet: flush with the outside edge a narrow transverse strip with billeted or crenellated moulding and engraved lines; flush with the attachment edge a triangle decorated with engraved lines, a trefoil cut-out and V-shaped notches. Both cut-outs and notches also penetrate the plate. Four rivet holes, all iron filled, transfix the plate. It is uncertain whether the iron is the remains of rivets. 44 x 26mm. Plate thickness 1mm. Of original design this object is related to strap-ends with openwork decoration, e.g. Dress Accessories nos.704-5. Late 14th ?? early 15th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
