Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap-fitting of medieval date (c. 14th century AD) consisting of a stud (L.: 7.65mm) and depending loop. The stud is circular, shallowly convex, with a square sectioned shank. Extending from one end is a loop which expands towards its rounded terminal. Towards the terminal is a tear-drop shaped removal. The terminal has been bent upwards slightly. Traces of gilding survive on the depression between stud and loop, and also on the stud's head. The metal is largely a red-brown colour as is consistent with the gilding process. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
