Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy possible strap fitting, perhaps originally a mount or even an incomplete buckle frame. Consisting of one thinner incomplete bar, 27mm in length and 3mm in width, which joins a wider bar at right angles, the second bar measures 26mm in length and 6mm in width. At the point where the two incomplete worn bars join there is a protruding acorn, with a convex front face decorated with cross hatched lines and gilding and a hollow back face. No parallel could be found for this strap fitting due to its fragmentary nature. It is however 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: | 800
