Description: | A complete copper-alloy crescentic strap end, made of a cast front plate and a sub-circular sheet underplate held in place with rivets and solder. Measuring 40.7mm in total length and 17.5mm in width at its widest point. The terminal is triangular in shape and decorated on its front face with open work and low relief to represent a tree. The rest of the cast front plate is crescentic in shape and engraved with lines to represent the roots of the tree. The sheet underplate is complete but is now bent in half. Two parallel rivet holes with traces of corroded iron can be seen through the terminals of the cast crescentic part and the sheet underplate. This crescentic strap end is 15th century 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
