Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting.
The object consists of an oval plate with a rectangular bent projection for attachment.
There is a circular loop on either edge of the plate where this extension joins the plate. There is a further central terminal loop at the bottom edge of the plate. The plate itself has a decoratively moulded design within a moulded curvilinear decoration, the nature of which is unclear. There are moulded knops halfway along either edge of the plate and either side of the terminal loop. The surface is mid reddish-brown in colour. The reverse is undecorated. This fitting probably dates to the 17th - 18th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
