Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy harness strap fitting, this fitting consists of a rectangular shaped shaft with a shaped terminal, the other terminal end of this object is missing due to an old break. It measures 82mm in length and 18mm in width. It is now slightly bent, the front face is rounded and the back face is flat. The shaped terminal end has a transverse moulding then a roughly circular part with a circular rivet hole through its centre, it is then waisted before finally terminating in a rectangular shaped tip with rounded corners. This fitting is similar in style to medieval harness pendant suspension mounts found in London and is likely to be circa 14th-15th century in date. The copper-alloy is a dark black colour, implying that this object may have been burnt. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
