Description: | Medieval, probably 12th century, copper alloy scabbard fitting. It is a double L-shape bent back on itself at the middle to give a c.3mm gap for the scabbard leather. Otherwise it is open on all sides. However, there is a rivet (in situ) at either end of the long side. The long side is D-shaped in section, 3mm thick and 3mm wide. At the end a collar flanks a flattened area which is pierced for the rivet and at its outside edge bifurcates and turns slightly outwards. At the opposite end this side joins the short side which is flat in section and 2mm thick. A knop extends outwards from the corner and fold at the end extends downwards. Another two knops are equidistant between these, and on the opposite edge a knop extends at the corner and folded edge, two more between but positioned in the middle of those on the lower edge. A line made up of pairs of tiny punches zigzag from one knop to the next, from corner to fold. Measures 55x32mm and weighs 14.04g. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1101
