Description: | Small piece of copper alloy sheet in the shape of a rectangular strip with an oval expanded terminal at one end. It is bent over at almost 180 degrees just before this terminal and there is a seperate copper alloy rivet through the rectangular end. It is 21.3mm long, 11.7mm wide and 0.9mm thick, it weighs 1.44 grams.
There are Medieval copper sheet strap fittings with oval terminals on a rectangular strip illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991) p.223 but unlike those examples this is not riveted thorough both ends and therefore cannot have opperated as a suspension loop. The purpose of this object is unclear. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burnett, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
