Description: | Unusually small and incomplete copper alloy symmetrical strap fitting for a sword belt. Probably sixteenth or seventeenth century. Hook missing. Length 24mm, width 13mm and 1.5mm thick. Weight 1.92g. From the hook end the sides of the fitting flare outwards to form an inverted heart shape with a tri-lobed terminal. The central lobe is perforated with a circular hole, 2mm in diameter, to take a rivet. The front surface has an incised abstract foliate design which is mostly worn. The rear is flat and plain. Viewed from the side, the fitting has a slightly curving profile. | 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: | 1500
