Description: | A copper-alloy decorative strap or belt fitting. It is triangular in shape, measuring 17mm by 20mm in size. Each corner is decorated with a pair of rounded protruding knops. There are slighly raised knops, roughly circular in shape on the front face and traces of gilding can be seen. Projecting from the back face there are two tapering attachment spikes, each one c6mm in lenght, bent over and ending in a point. These would have attached the decorative fitting to the strap or belt. This strap fitting is most likely to be post-medieval and 16th or 17th century in date. | 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
