Description: | Cast cu-alloy strap fitting or strap slide, probably of medieval date, i.e. dating from c. AD1300-1600. The object is very worn, especially the arms of the cross, one of which is damaged. The surface show heavy corrosion and signs of wear and bronze disease. The rectangular loop on the back (the 'slide') is very worn, too, and almost worn through at one side. The obverse of the object looks like it was never decoration with any kind of moulded or carved decoration, but if it carried painted or other surface decoration it will now be missing. The reverse looks plain, but it probably was not decorated to start with. The object looks like a non-functional decorative strap slide and judging from the form and size it is very likely that it was of medieval, if not possibly of early medieval date (i.e. pre 1300). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
