Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting.
The object comprises a double boss, joined together and terminating on both ends with a rectangular loop.
The bosses are decorated with incised lines, drawn diagonally in both directions across the surface of the object. The rectangular loops both have off-set and narrowed ends, similar to buckles and other strap fittings, to allow a strap to sit better.
The reverse of the bosses are concave.
The metal is a mid greyish-green colour and the surface is slightly pitted.
This fitting is post-medieval in date, probably 16th ? 17th century. | 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: | 1500
