Description: | Copper alloy strap end. Composite strap end with forked spacer. There are two sub-oval plates with a sub-circular notch in the centre of the upper edges. There is a groove extending from the notch on both plates. These are flanked by two rivet holes, one of which retains a rivet. One plate is convex, the other slightly concave. Between the plates is an incomplete crescent shaped spacer which has an acorn knop projecting centrally downwards on the outer edge. This projected outside the plates. The parts of the spacer which were inside the plate have file marks. The patina and weight of the spacer suggests a different alloy of copper than the plates which have corroded extensively on the outer surfaces. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
