Description: | A corroded and slightly abraded medieval composite strap-end with a sheet spacer. The strap-end is sub-rectangular in form with an angled terminal. The sheet spacer occupies around three quarters of the outer sheets and their whole widths (L.: c. 19.5mm). The whole is held together by a pair of surviving rivets, one towards the terminal, through the spacer and outer sheets, and one towards the attachment end. On of the sheets is slightly abraded at the attachment end; at this weak point too the strap-end has been bent slightly in profile. The object has a mid/dark-green patina with areas of light corrosion product and can be dated to the later 14th century. | Subjects: | Composite | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
