Description: | A Post Medieval copper alloy fitting, possibly from furniture or a harness. The fitting is rectangular in shape, narrowing to a point at the bottom end. In section the fitting is convex, bowing out in the centre of the body. The rectangular top section has a drilled central suspension hole. Below this the body of the fitting thickens in two steps to form an even surface with a central rib running down the length. The steps are solid and are cast in one piece, not creating an opening into which any thing could be fitted. The reverse of the fitting is convex with a central rib. There is a orange discolouration in the centre of reverse possibly suggesting the presence of a rivet. It is 54.1mm long, 12.9mm wide, 4.1 mm thick and weighs 8.3g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Jackson, Jennifer - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
