Description: | Medieval copper alloy strap fitting. It resembles a a D-shaped frame buckle and a plate. However, there is no space in the plate for the pin. The object is covered in a green patina and iron corrosion from the rivets. The 'frame' has a narrowed bar. It measures 22x21mm. The 'plate' is rectangular. One side is slightly shorter than the other, although the widths are similar. The plate's maximum measurements are 34x16mm. At each end of the plate is a hole. The hole at the open end is filled with a corroded iron rivet. The hole nearest the frame also contains corroded iron, and may have functioned as a hole for a rivet. Alternatively it may have been a hole for the pin, much of which is now missing, which could have moved, presumably with some difficulty, around the plate and bar.
In total it measures 53x21mm and weighs 9.60g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Wood, Rachel | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
