Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting of probable seventeenth century date. The flat sexfoil fitting measures 33.5mm in diameter by 2.6mm in thickness (excluding the lugs) and weighs 11.5g. In between each of the rounded lobes of the sexfoil a smaller rounded knop projects. The front has been moulded with a central five-petaled flower which is surrounded by a ring of pellets. There is a trace of gilding on the front. On the back of the fitting there are three integrally cast pointed attachment lugs, all of which are bent in the same direction. Two small pieces of black leather have been preserved in situ under the lugs. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
