Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting or belt stiffener of Post-Medieval date. It is approximately rectangular in shape and semi-circular in section. It flares vertically and horizontally at its outer edges and again at the centre, and is slightly constricted in between. There are traces of gilding on the exterior faces. It has two integral rectangular arms set at right angles and attached to each end of the main bar. These are rectangular in shape and section and are bent at ninety degrees to create a rectangular shaped aperture through which the belt or strap would have passed. The object measures 19.75mm in width, 7.39mm in height, 6.10mm in thickness, and weighs 4.03g. Similar strap sliders or belt stiffeners are noted in the Post-Medieval period (see for example Margeson, 1993: nos. 287-288) of the 16th-17th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
