Description: | Medieval copper alloy object, 41mm long, 9mm wide and 4mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a green patina and weighs 5.26 grams. The object is rectangular in form and staple shaped in section. It flares outwards slighty at one end to accomodate a raised collar. From this emerges two rectangular sectioned shafts also flaring outwards, one has broken off. The surface is decorated with a series of diagonal incised lines which cross to form a 'diamond' pattern. Each 'diamond' appears to have a circular recess in its centre. The object may be a folding strap clasp with integral loop, as illustrated in Whitehead, R. Buckles 1250-1800, page 42. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
