Description: | Cast front plate of a crescentic strap end or belt chape of Late Medieval date possibly dating from the first half of the 15th century. The sub triangular terminal is decorated in low relief to resemble a bush or tree. The engraved lines within the circular body section represent the roots of the tree. The strap end was attached to the missing underplate by means of solder and four rivets, two in the crescent (now missing) and two near the terminal (still present). | 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: | 1500
