Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy strap union. The artefact has fractured around one of the strap holes. The piece is asymmetrical with a moulding along the central shaft nearer one eyelet than the other. There are three lobes around the complete eyelet suggesting a cross design. The artefact has a clear front and reverse to the object, with the front having a rounded profile and showing the moulding along the shaft, wile the back is flat and does not show the moulding. The reverse is also quite roughly cast, and was not finished to the same degree as the obverse.
This piece may have been associated with the above stirrup-strap mount and is likely to be of a similar date (11th century).
The surface of the artefact has recently been mechanically removed. | 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
