Description: | A copper alloy belt fitting, possibly a buckle, dating to the late medieval or early post medieval period. The object consists of two triangular attachment plates joined by a central decorative plate. Both triangular attachment plates are rectangular in section with a circular section bar and have a central groove on their upper surface. Each has two small triangular knop extensions, perhaps intended to represent foliage. One circular section bar has a rectangular sheet of copper alloy wrapped around it. The sheet is secured by a circular section rivet, also of copper alloy. The central plate has raised moulded decoration, suggestive of a human face, with eyes, a wide mouth and tufts of hair. On the underside of this central plate is a circular depression. The object measures 50.43mm in length and has a maximum width of 26.65mm. The rectangular sheet of copper alloy measures 19.27mm in length by 9.65mm in width. | 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: | 1400
