Description: | A large, heavy duty strap fitting of unknown date. The fitting could either be Late Iron Age/ Roman or it is Medieval in date.
The fitting comprises a plate of copper alloy which is a rough oval shaped. The plate has been damaged ? so it is impossible to see the full size of the object or indeed what shape it would have been. The plate has an oval hole cut out of it at one end and a series of six holes punched through it at the other end.
Cast integrally to the plate there is a large circular loop.
The copper alloy has lost much of its original surface and it extremely pitted and corroded. The break is worn and corroded.
Diameter of loop 18.40mm. | 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: | -150
