Description: | A cast copper alloy open ended strap fitting or chape.
The object has been made from a flattened tube of copper alloy. One iron rivet can be seen on the front of the object.
The open ends have both been decoratively moulded. Three bands of parallel lines can be seen running parallel to the shorter edges of the object. Two of the bands are located at the end of the object, the other runs across the centre.
The metal is a mid greyish-green colour and the surface is slightly pitted. Traces of a black lacquer can be seen in the grooves between the bands.
It probably dates to the post-medieval period circa 1600 - 1800. | 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: | 1600
