Description: | An unusual elaborate hooked slide, possibly from a sword belt, which comprises a cast D-sectioned loop at base ending in two vertical bars. One bar is laterally pierced for a belt and has twin perforated lugs at its apex containing an copper alloy pin that secures the loop of a separate bar. The inner face of the bar has a right-angled projection with small stud that fits between lugs and into a blind hole on the corresponding vertical bar at the other end of the loop. There is a cast shield on the outer face of the loop. This is a more elaborate version of similar slides illustrated in Read (2008), nos.771-3. 13th-15th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Crawford, Becky | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
