Description: | A copper alloy pyramidal sword belt fitting dating to the sixth century AD. The mount is trapezoidal in section and hollow. A transverse bar runs across the underside for attachment to a strap. The flattened apex possesses a rectangular cell lined with gold stamped foil underneath a garnet. The fitting is similar to examples from Barham and Coddenham, Suffolk (West (1998) fig.5, no.48 and fig.21, no.22). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Walton, Phillippa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
