Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy strap end or similar strap fitting. The object is formed from two plates.
The top and bottom plates are rectangular with a smaller rectangular projection at one end. There is a rivet connecting the two plates at this end and the terminal proper has been decorated with incised lines on one surface. The front plate is decorated with incised lines, forming square with diagonal crosses through them. One edge of the object has been filled with a strip of copper alloy. The opposite terminal is joined by a folded over hinge fitting, with a pin pushed through holding it all together.
The metal is a mid reddish-brown colour and it is pitted. This strap end is likely to be post-medieval in date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
