Description: | A cast copper-alloy sword-belt fitting, 16th - 17th century in date. The surface of the fitting has been decorated with a symmetrical floral design. The artefact is made up of a decoratively moulded plate of copper alloy. The plate is roughly rectangular in shape, with two rounded corners on one terminal and a square, but broken projection at the base. On the other terminal the plate has a shaped edge formed of two pointed lobes with a rounded lobe in the middle, now also broken. The reverse is blank, an attachment lug can be seen on the upper part of the reverse. The belt fitting is incomplete. The break is worn and corroded. The metal has a mid brownish-green patina. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
