The hook end flares out slightly and is rounded at either side, whilst the strap attachment end is more triangular in shape, flaring out. The object has three rivet holes, two are at the hook end, either side, whilst the other in in the flared strap attachment end. The front of plate is decorated with raised floral decoration, in a rough heart shape. | 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
