Description: | Copper-alloy strap fitting consisting of a bar mount, with a circular ring hanging from it. The bar mount is rectangular in shape measuring 15mm in length and 6mm in width, the mount is bent backwards at its terminal end and secured with a copper-allot rivet forming an open loop. The front face of the mount has flat rectangular projections along its length which are decorated with tiny diagonal incisions. The ring hanging from the loop, formed by the bent over terminal of the mount, is circular and measures 12mm in external diameter and 7mm in internal diameter.
This strap fitting, which probably hung from a leather strap or belt, perhaps with a small knife or other implement hanging from the ring, is perhaps most likely to be 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: | 1000
