Description: | A large medieval strap-fitting formed of copper alloy. The object consists of two rectangular plates (39.9mm by 7.8mm) joined by a loop and bent round such that they are parellel. The plates have a rectangular cross-section. They are joined together by a pair of rivets which survive, one towards the loop and one towards the terminal. The rivets have square cross-section, prominent rounded heads and unobtrusive hammered-down ends. The space between the two arms (the thickness of the strap) is c. 3.3mm. The object is a dark red-brown colour consistent with gilding; traces of gilt survive alongside areas of light green corrosion product. For an object of similar construction recorded on this database see reference SF3423. | Subjects: | strap loop | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
