Description: | A cast copper alloy unidentified object of probable late medieval or early post medieval date. The object is semi-cylindrical, with a dot and chevron motif on the front, flanked by horizontal pairs of parallel lines. There is a broken pierced lug at one end and the reverse is hollow. Iron corrosion at the opposite end to the lug may indicate the presence of a rivet attachment. The item is superficially similar to an example of a late fifteenth century strap-end hook in Ward Perkins' London Museum Medieval Catalogue, however the London example is wider, the pattern more extensive and the object has a hook rather than a loop. | 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: | 1400
