Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting of probable seventeenth century date. The fitting measures 27.8mm by 15.3mm by 2.9mm and weighs 3.59g. The front is convex and the back slightly concave. On the reverse are the stubs of two pointed integral lugs. The fitting is quite worn but would probably have originally been curvilinear with three lobes at each end and a longitudinal line of symmetry, similar in shape for example to no. 285 in Read's 'Metal Artefacts of Antiquity' (2000, pp. 28, 34, fig. 19). | 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
