Description: | The object is a strap fitting which Geake (Geake, H. 2001 Finds Recording Guide, Version 1.1; August 2001) attributes to the early post-medieval, or early 15th to 17th century. Geake suggests that early post-medieval mounts were either used on human dress or horse-harnesses. The object is cast copper alloy.
In plan the object is sub-circular and plain, except for traces of a possible flange. In section the object is domed, with a hollow reverse. On the reverse, on opposite sides there are two integral spikes, which are bent towards each other. The object has a patchy green patina on the dome exterior, while the rest of the object is abraded, with evidence of red copper corrosion.
The measurement of the object is 13.7mm at its longest point, 12.2mm at its widest point and 6.9mm at its thickest point. Weight of the object is 0.9g. | 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: | 1475
