Description: | Copper alloy strap end (or buckle) dating to the Medieval period (1250-1400AD). The strap end has what looks like a D shaped buckle frame with an extended lip. There is a single perforation or rivet hole at the frame end of the plate ? it is unclear whether this has filled in due to corrosion or whether it actually holds a rivet. The plate end of the object widens out into a triangular shape and has a split end like a strap-end although no further rivets are visible. There is a small rectangular raised section on the front of the object which appears to be decorative.
The objects weighs 18.16g and measures 52.9mm in length, 21.9mm in width and 9.9mm in thickness. | 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: | 1250
