Description: | Unusual form of medieval copper-alloy strap-fitting, perhaps from horse harness. It is made from a rectangular strip of metal 20 mm wide and about 35 mm long, with one end folded over to hold an iron hinge bar. Two 4-5 mm long slots are cut into the fold to allow something to swing on the bar. The other end of the plate is decorated with an engraved saltire, and on the reverse is an integral copper-alloy rivet with burred-over end. Length 22 mm. | 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: | 1066
