Description: | Copper alloy belt or strap fitting. The fitting measures 50.06mm in length and consists of a convex elongated oval shape and three convex circles joined in a line. The fitting is broken above the circles. The back is flat and has a protruding stud at the end with a square sectioned shank. The stud is bent and broken off and may have been longer originally. The function of the object is unclear, it may have been a large strap slider or stiffener, possibly relating to horse harness wear. The object weighs 14.13g and measures 9.33mm in width. It probably dates to the post-medieval period. | 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
