Description: | An incomplete belt fitting, comprising a bar mount with a central domed boss, from which a flat bar expands to a rivet near a concave terminal. The missing part was probably of the same form and size. Extant length 35mm. Restored length 58mm. Width of terminal 10mm, of boss 14mm. Thickness 1.5mm, of boss 5.5mm. A mount, of similar proportions and form, but with a flat and pierced central boss, was excavated in Hull (Goodall, A.R. in Armstrong, P. and Ayers, B. ??Excavations in High Street and Blackfriargate??, East Riding Archaeologist Vol. 8, Hull Old Town Report Ser. No. 5, fig. 117, no. 189). Another example, almost identical to the Hull piece, was found in Banham (HER 32136). Both of these are massive versions of a standard type of 14th-century strap mount (Dress Access. fig. 134, nos. 1154 and 1157-8). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Crawford, Becky | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
