Description: | Cast copper alloy looped strap end dating to around the 17th century.
It has been cast in one and has a split end to attach to the strap end with 1 rivet still remaining.
At the base there is a circular loop set perpendicular to the rest of the strap end. Above this is a sub-circular loop which has an upside down heart shaped perforation in the centre. At the base of this loop is a square projection which links it to the top loop. On the front of this are 3 circular punch marks, 2 above 1 below. There is a small projection on each side of the loop as it narrows towards the top.
At the top of the loop it leads to a leaf shaped terminal. Before the leaf is a pointed projection on each side of the vertical shaft. It is at this point where it becomes a split end. The leaf narrows to a point and is decorated on the front with incised lines. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
