Description: | Copper-alloy object, perhaps a strap fitting. In plan it is a rectangular shape with rounded ends, but in profile the object has been distorted from its original flat shape, forming a crease angled at c. 45 degrees. The upper surface of the fitting has a central ridge, semi-circular in cross-section, which runs the width of the fitting. Either side of the ridge there is a interlace design within a low-relief border. On this surface there are traces of silvering or tinning. On the reverse, at either end, there are a pair of parallel lugs semi-circular in cross-section. Each has a central hole which supports an iron bar. Otherwise this surface is undecorated. In length, incorporating the fold, the object is 37.1mm long and is 15.6mm wide. The maximum depth is 7mm.The fitting has red copper corrosion. The interlace design suggests an early-medieval date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
