Description: | Part of medieval strap fitting or possibly buckle, either part of the same object as, or of a set with, the buckle described in NMS-2C7862, as evidenced by the similar decoration of rocker-arm emphasised lines and openwork. The two may perhaps join, but the breaks are worn. Against them being part of one item are the very different surface colouration and the fact that this object is slightly thinner. One end is broken across two apertures and the other is a B-shaped loop with a slight external lobe in the centre of the double convex edge. There is one rivet hole, countersunk on the reverse. If these two pieces once formed a single buckle, it would have been without parallel. It is more likely that they were part of a set, with the function of this piece remaining uncertain. 13th ?? 14th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
