Description: | A cast copper alloy sword belt strap fitting. The fitting consists of a rectangular open frame, from which a circular loop has been cast integrally and hangs down (to one side) under the main frame. One of the shorter sides of the frame (above the loop) is narrower and off set. The opposite short side of the frame, has a copper-alloy plate extending out from it. The plate has broken and the break is very worn. Diagonal grooves have been cut into the raised short sides. The metal is a mid brownish-green colour and is pitted. Sword belt fittings of this type date to the 16th ?? 17th 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 |
