Description: | Decorated copper-alloy plate from a strap-end, now rather crumpled. The attachment end is incurved and 14 mm wide; there are two rivet holes here. The closed end is cut into a truncated triangle and has a third rivet hole which retains a clumsily made (perhaps replacement) copper-alloy rivet. The reverse has oblique filemarks and perhaps the remains of some solder. The upper face has engraved curvilinear decoration, perhaps of an animal or pair of animals. The lines are made up of short punchmarks, a technique characteristic of medieval ornament. | 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
