Description: | An incomplete strap slide, strap fitting, dating to the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD. The slide has been cast in copper alloy. The remaining part of the fitting consists of an oval plate with pointed ends. Each end has a slightly raised moulded joint where it was attached to the rest of the fitting. There is a circular groove within the centre of the plate. This has a raised circle within it and inside this another smaller raised circle, which is enamelled with a blue enamel. A fragment is missing from each edge of the plate, more on one side than the other. All traces of the attachment loop has been removed, due to a break. The loop would have been rectangular to allow the fitting to go around a strap. The metal is fairly worn and corroded with a pitted surface. The metal is a mid brownish-green mottled colour. This strap slide is similar to others that have been found in Yorkshire and the North-east. | Subjects: | Strap slide 1st century BC - 1st century AD | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Booth, Anna | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
