Description: | 5 Medieval belt fittings:
- circular pendent loop, cf. quatrefoil example, Dress Accessories no. 1189, height 16mm, width 13mm.
- three-arched pendent loop or purse hanger, one expanded end missing, cf. Dress Accessories no. 1198. Length (restored) 43mm.
- rectangular strap-loop with integral external rivet. 17mm x 11mm, 12.5mm internally.
- rectangular strap-loop with (missing) separate internal rivet and trapezoidal section top, cf. Dress Accessories nos.1248-9. 20mm x 15mm, 17mm internally.
- incomplete mount with two separate rivets, at one a fleur-de-lis terminal with two openwork apertures, the other end broken next to a rectangular boss, with a short section of D-section (5mm x 2.5mm) bar in the centre. Surviving length 35mm. This is substantial enough to be considered as a box or casket fitting, but the two rivets, which have burred over ends, were driven through something no more than 2mm thick. They have large and rather formless heads and may be replacements. Perhaps then it was first used as a furniture mount. 13th ? 14th century. | 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: | 1066
