Description: | A worn copper-alloy strap or belt loop most likely to be of medieval date, consisting of a single piece of copper-alloy which has been bent over and the two ends secured with a copper-alloy rivet so that a U-shaped loop is formed. It measures 24.81mm in length and 15.23mm in width, the front face has a rectangular plate, 17.1mm in length and 15mm in width, and the shaft which forms the loop projects from the centre of the lower edge of this and is also rectangular, 7.6mm in width. The terminal of the shaft on the back face is lozenge shaped and an integral cylindrical rivet, which projects from the centre of the back face of the rectangular plate, passes through the centre of the lozenge shaped terminal, holding it in place. There is a corroded iron bar lying horizontally through the loop. It seems likely that this looped strap fitting would have been attached to a belt or strap and other implements could then have hung from it. | 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
