Description: | Post Medieval copper alloy belt fitting of Post Medieval date, c. 16th century
The fitting is looped and damaged with a surviving length of 38.99mm and is likely to have originally had three loops. The belt fitting has three perforations surviving across its centre with an iron attachment pin surviving in one of the perforations. The fitting has broken across one of the perforations. The fitting has a width of 29.92mm including the surviving loop which has an internal diameter of 6.2mm. The face of the belt fitting is decorated with cast floral motifs and has good surface preservation with a mid green patina. The belt fitting fragment weighs 6.5g.
Looped belt fittings are often thought to be associated with sword belts and the fitting can be paralleled with an example recorded by Bailey (1995, pp 46, no. 3). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Battye, Ruth - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
