Description: | A probably post-medieval strap-slide, for securing the end of a strap or belt. The object is basically cruciform with wide triangular pointed terminals, each of which ends in a stepped round terminal; such acorn knops are characteristic of post-medieval horse fittings. These arms emerge from a square of four circular holes arranged around a central boss. Two arms of the cross survive; one is missing, and the fourth arm is replaced by an oval loop with expanding straight sides. On the reverse is the securing loop which consists of three straight sides. | 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
