Description: | Copper alloy strap-end with cast front plate and sheet backing with a combined thickness of 2mm. The cast plate has a slightly tapered rectangular shank from 13.5 to 12mm over a length of 15mm. A sharp indentation of 3mm length and depth on either edge separates the shank from the head, which is approximately trifoliate with three drilled circular piercings, probably for rivets. This trefoil is 10mm wide at the widest point and 11.5mm to the tip of the central leaf.The back sheet is fastened to the cast plate by a single rivet on the central axis 5mm from the wider end. It follows the shape of the cast shank but then narrows to a tongue only 3mm wide for a further 9.5mm length. The overall length of the object is 29mm. | 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
