Description: | A cast copper alloy S-shaped belt clasp. The clasp is 42.5mm long and with rounded edges. Both terminals have a zoomorphic head, which may represent a swan. The fitting is decorated, in the centre on both sides with a double line (with pellets in-between), with three feathers on either side of the lines (six in total). The internal bends of the swan heads, show clear signs of having been worn by a ring. One ring still survives in situ. The fitting is likely to be 17th - 18th century. A parallel can be found in Egan (2005), p47, 172. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
