Description: | A strap end or mount. The object is composed of cast copper-alloy openwork with a lozenge form terminal with two circular holes. Above the lozenge the strap end forms a narrow bar (6 mm) before expanding into a horizontal rectangle. The object has two copper-alloy rivets (intact), one in the centre of the rectangle, the other in the centre of the lozenge. Evidence of gilding remains on the obverse. The reverse is undecorated. The object has been bent out of shape. The strap end/mount is likely to be Medieval in date. An example of a Medieval strap end is illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, page 152; figure 99). | 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: | Tom Brindle | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
