Description: | A copper-alloy strap or belt fitting. The item is trapezoidal, resembling a rectangle that does not have its sides at right angles and the two shortest sides lean in the same direction. This appears to be a result of design as opposed to damage. The fitting is pierced in the centre of both of its long sides, presumbably for accomodating a bar on which the fitting would pivet. Any such bar is now missing. The frame broadens to 5.1 mm at the point where these piercings are, before tapering to 2.7 mm, which is the thickness of the rest of the frame. The item measures 44 mm on its length and 35 mm in width. The lack of any groove where a pin would rest suggests that this item is not a buckle frame. It is probably 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: | 1300
