Description: | A cast copper alloy medieval strap end or bell clapper.
The object is formed from an almost spherical ball from which a bifurcation extends. This is now broken through, where there was once a single rivet hole. It is possible that this is where the strap end joined the strap, but equally possible this break could mark the joint of the bell clapper to a leather strap inside the bell. The metal is worn and pitted. The metal is a mid greenish-brown colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
