Description: | The upper part of a gilded strap end. The fragment, which contained the strap itself is of box construction which tapers towards an openwork terminal and has a notched outer edge. The box contains remains of textile which is apparently dyed red. On one side of the box is inscribed a gothic letter 'm' which is reserved against a background infilled with zigzags. Sufficient remains of the broken end to show that it was openwork and contained the figure of St. Christopher (see London Museum Medieval Catalogue,Fig. 85, no.1). The Medieval Catalogue dates it as c1390-c1410 though this must be treated with caution. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Venn, Rebecca | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
