Description: | A cast copper alloy medieval composite strap end.
The strap end is formed of one plate, which has been folded widthways, forming two. The front plate is coffin shaped and has two projecting knops at the open end, either side of a loop. The loop contains a rivet which sits in situ and holds the front and back plate together. The front plate has been decorated with a faint incised line around the edge. The back plate is more sub-rectangular in shape and undecorated.
The object has an undecorated and smooth surface, giving an almost tin-like appearance. The metal is a dark olive-green. The metal survives in a very good condition. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Taylor, Jeff | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
