Description: | A copper-alloy belt/strap fitting, 27mm in length. It has two triangular shaped terminals, 14mm in width, which are both waisted before flaring out into a wider central almost lozengiform part, 15mm in width, although the points of the lozenges have been replaced by three triangular points in a row. The front face is decorated with a transverse groove near to each of the triangular terminal edges, and by grooves along these edges. The back face has two rectangular shaped attachment parts, which appear to be intergral, they begin in the centre near to the edge of the two triangular-shaped terminals and are curving inwards, one over the other, across the back face of the fitting. These rectangualr pertrusions would have originally been wraped around the strap that this fitting was attached to. This strap fitting is likely to be Medieval or early Post-Medieval in 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: | 1066 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
