Description: | A copper alloy sword belt fitment. It has a belt bar with a fleur de lis shaped terminal and wavy upper edge. There are two loops at the lower edge, both with attached rings. The opposite terminal, and third loop, are missing due to old breaks. There are rivet holes at the fleur de lis terminal and on the bar above the second loop, i.e. the centre of the complete bar. There are traces of a foliate pattern beneath the surface corrosion. The rings in the loops have been formed by bending round a nail-like strip of rectangular section, with an expanded head, to touch the opposite terminal.
The fitment is of a recognisable sixteenth century design (Bailey, 1995, pp46-7). It measures 42.31mm in surviving length, 19.24mm in width at the fleur de lis terminal and 29.55mm in width including the loops. The 'rings' are bent to an oval shape 16mm in length. The object weighs 15.28g. | Subjects: | sword | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Carr, Jane - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
