Description: | Cast copper-alloy spur strap fitting with rectangular aperture for a leather strap, decorated with acorn terminals either side. Projecting from the centre of the strap fitting is a T-bar which is bow-shaped in profile. Presumably this would have attached to a hook fitting which would have had an element that fitted under the arch of the bow, as well as clasping onto the T-bar, such as the hooked chape of a spur buckle. The acorn is a motif used on many types of dress fittings and mounts from the 15th to the 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: | 1400
