Description: | Small strap-end made from two pieces of corroded copper-alloy sheet. Both pieces are roughly the same shape; they are joined together at one end by a large corroded copper-alloy rivet, and perhaps some solder as well. The plates are widest (8.5 mm wide) at the riveted end, and taper to 4 mm wide at the other end, where the plates are 2.5 mm apart. The strap-end is 29 mm long. No decoration can be seen on either plate. The shape is unusual and, combined with the lack of decoration, makes this object hard to date; it may perhaps be Anglo-Saxon or medieval. | 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: | 410
