Description: | A slightly worn and corroded copper-alloy medieval strap-end with bar mount at the attachment edge (14th century AD). The strap-end is formed of a shield-shaped sheet plate which is incurved before the terminal at which the bar mount is attached. The bar mount itself is trapezoidal in cross-section, with a narrower upper surface. It is rivetted to the plate through a single, central rivet. There is a second rivet towards the opposing end of the strap-end; both roves are now missing. Similar examples can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 157; fig. 103) of which number 732 is perhaps the closest parallel. The object now has a mid-dark green patina. | Subjects: | Bar mount | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
