Description: | A cast copper alloy hinged plate, from a two-piece strap-end with hinged plate and loop. The object is medieval in date.
The object comprises two plates, folded in the centre, forming the constriction for the loop. The plates are rectangular and flat. The front plate has been decorated with an incised border, with engraved cabling defining the linear border. A large rivet hole remains in situ on the centre of each plate; whilst two further rivet holes (still containing copper alloy rivets) can be seen on the open end of the plates.
The loop is missing.
The metal is a dark brownish-green colour.
Similar fittings can be seen in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p154, Fig: 101, ref: 721. | 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: | 1200
