Description: | A worn and incomplete medieval dress accessory: probably a strap-end. The artefact is formed of copper-alloy sheet folded along its width. In form the object is sub-trapezoidal. At its widest point at the attachment end it is 12.6mm wide, before tapering to 11.1mm at the fold. At the widest point the attachment end is incurved. The other part formed by the fold, opposite, has been damage in past; it is neither as long nor as wide as the other fold, although this may not necessarily have been due to the damage. Towards the end of the more intact fold is a perforation which retains the attaching rivet. The object is decorated on both of its visible external faces which a roughly central longitudinal incision off which are a number of diagonals forming chevrons. The damaged terminal of the fold described above has also been bent outwards. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
