Description: | Barred mount of the type thought to have been used with strap clasps with rotating ends. The plate is made from a sub-rectangular piece of copper-alloy sheet, with rounded corners and with a semi-circular cut-out on each long edge forming a narrowed waist near to one end. This plate is only 9 mm wide. There is a separate copper-alloy rivet at each end, each with a separate circular copper-alloy rove. At the end closest to the cut-outs, the rivet holds a bar-mount which is C-shaped in cross-section. This bar is 12 mm long and instead of being set transversely is turned at a slight angle; it is still, however, too long for the width of the plate. This rivet retains a few fibres of pale textile. | 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: | 1250
