Description: | Early Medieval or Medieval copper alloy strap end, 32mm long, 22mm wide and 3.5mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a green patina and weighs 8.03grams. The object is rectangular in form and section. The object is incomplete and consists of two plates which have damaged edges. The front plate forms about half of the objects remaining surface and is decorated with a horizontal raised ridge. Below this is a pattern of lozenge shaped depressions arranged to form digaonally aligned ridges. Above this the back plate is visible and contains two circular iron rivets, 2mm in diameter. One is placed in the upper corner and the other may be a repair, as it sits slightly off centre and lower down. The reverse plate has a rectangular recessed area where the rivets are held. The ridge forming the edge of this is covered in iron staining, the rest of the object is plain. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
