Description: | An incomplete copper alloy strap fitting of Medieval date. It consists of a flat shield shaped plate that is missing the exterior edges. At the attachment end is a rectangular bar mount that is D-shaped in section and incomplete at both ends. On the back face of the mount are the remains of two integral circular copper alloy rivets, the rivet at the attachment end still retains part of a rove. The mount measures 17.75mm in length, 14.34mm in width, and weighs 1.50g. Parallels in Medieval London and Norwich suggest this mount should date to the 14th-15th centuries AD (see Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 732-738; Margeson, 1993: no. 271). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
