Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting.
The object comprises a plate of copper alloy. The plate is rectangular, but tapers outwards before tapering inwards to a point, forming a triangular terminal. A single copper alloy rivet remains in situ in the rectangular section of the plate. It can be seen on both surfaces.
At the opposite terminal to the point, the plate has been cut. At either side of the plate there are two extensions. These have been rolled around on themselves and are holding a strap bar in place.
The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour and the surface is heavily pitted.
This fitting is post-medieval in date, probably 17th ?? 18th 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 |
