Description: | Medieval/ post medieval copper alloy sheet metal piece, deliberately cut as a rectangle with one shorter long side, causing the short site to turn in at an angle to join it at a rounded corner. A 5mm rivet hole (but no rivet) is in this corner. A rivet hole with rivets in situ is at the three other corners, plus another midway along the longest side. Two have clearly been bent over while the other two are broken off. The object is slightly bent and most of the original patina is missing. Possibly a strap fitting of some kind. Would have mounted onto a perishable material. The angled shape calls to mind a sword sheath. 50x35mm, shorter length is c.40mm. | 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: | 1066
