Description: | Medeival copper alloy two piece strap end with hinged plate and loop, 265mm long, 7mm wide and 45mm thick. The object is in a fair condition with a dark brown patina and weighs 2.14grams. The object consists of a two-piece ractangular plate which has a small rectangular protrusion in the centre of its upper edge and is recessed at the other end to allow for a hinge. The hinge is fixed by a circular sectioned shaft and is attached to a sub-circular plate which has a small circular hole in its centre. the opposite end of this loop has the remains of a protrusion which is rectangular in section and form. The object is very similar to example 720 in fig.101, page 154, in Egan and Pritchard's Dress Accessories. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
