Description: | Medieval copper alloy terminal, probably from a strap end. The object is in good condition with a dark green patina. It is 19mm long and 7mm wide with a sub-rectangular section. It has a flat underside and narrows gradually inwards on each side. The upper surface is divided into two sections, the larger has a ridge running down its surface forming a triangular upper edge. At the far end, where the object has snapped, there are two protrusions pointing upwards. At the other end of this section it has incised lines running across its surface with the ridge making them appear chevron like. Above this the object narrows significantly and forms an acorn like terminal with three ridges raising up and out from the narrow neck for 3mm before abruptly stopping. This forms a flat surface from which emerges a narrow trefoil like terminal. | 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: | 1100
