Description: | S-shaped belt fastener with ring. Oval in section, it has decoration on both faces; a central belt with feathers projecting on either side, then a ?swan's head at either end, again perhaps with feathers. One head is bent so that it meets the centre of the fastener (the junction is corroded so that its solidity is uncertain) but the other head forms a loose, linkable curve. The looped end retains a small ring made of wire bent round so that it nearly meets (diameter 12 mm). These are thought to date to the late 16th and 17th centuries, but the rough brown patina on this example may suggest a later date. | 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: | 1550
