Description: | A copper alloy object, probably a fragment of horse harness and medieval in date. The object consists of a rectangular section strip of copper alloy which has been bent into an 'S' shape. The strip itself has three moulded rectangles on its upper surface. Traces of gilding remain in the grooves between the moulded rectangles. At one end of the strip, the moulded rectangle has a circular perforation; beyond this, the strip is squared off and a circular section wire hook extends; at the other end of the strip there is a further circular perforation and beyond this, a small rectangular section extension with a rounded off terminal. The underside of the strip is plain. The object measures 60mm in length and has a width of 8mm. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Philippa Walton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
