Description: | A cast copper alloy strap end or similar strap fitting.
The object is formed from a single piece of copper alloy. The main body is rectangular in section, but swollen in the centre, tapering down to either terminal. The terminal proper has a collar and a rounded knop. At the other end there is a collar and then the remains of a split joint, which would have held the leather strap. Only the back plate survives and the break is very worn.
The metal is a mid brownish-green colour and it is very pitted.
This strap end is likely to be post-medieval in date, as it does not fit into the earlier typologies. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
