Description: | Unidentified object made from copper-alloy strip. One end is cut straight across, and is slightly flatter and wider. The strip then has bevelled edges, and tapers slightly all the way to a slightly expanded oval terminal. This terminal has a copper-alloy rivet with a slightly rounded head and a large burred-over end; the wider end also has a rivet, with neatly concealed head and neater end. The wider end is bent outwards and then back under and up to form a drop-shaped loop which is nearly closed. The form of the rivet at the wider end suggests a medieval date (probably 14th century), but the function is uncertain; it could possibly be a bar-mount from a belt. | 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: | 1300
