Description: | An unusual complete copper-alloy strap fitting, possibly a strap end or maybe a buckle plate. It is rectangular in shape and measures 21mm by 19mm in size. It is formed of two sheets of copper-alloy. These are held together at one terminal with two parallel copper-alloy rivets, one in each corner. The opposing terminal is unusual, both sheets of copper-alloy have been pushed together and rolled under the edge of the terminal. Just before the terminal there are two parallel circular drilled holes, each measuring 3mm in diameter. The front face of this strap fitting is decorated with small diagonal incisions and what may be lettering although due to wear the letters are no longer decipherable. This strange strap fitting is most likely to be medieval or early post medieval 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: | 1400
