Description: | A strap fitting one end of which is now incomplete due to old breaks, now worn, most likely to be medieval or early post medieval in date. This object is rectangular in shape and measures 32mm in surviving length and 16.6mm in width. The complete terminal end has a copper-alloy rivet through either corner. There is another copper-alloy rivet through the centre of the object which on the front face holds a seperate six-petalled flower in place by running through the centre of it. The incomplete end may have been folded originally allowing this object to function as a folded sheet strap end or it may alternatively have been riveted allowing the object to function as a mount. As there is no evidence of a pin slot or pin hole it is not likely to have been a buckle plate. | 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: | 1300
