Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting of probable sixteenth century date. The fitting measures 26.3mm by 14.5mm by 2.3mm and weighs 2.18g. It is sub-triangular with curvilinear sides and a faint, apparently foliate, design incised on the front. In the centre of the wider end there is a rivet hole which contains the remains of a corroded iron rivet. A similar fitting from south-west Wiltshire can be seen in Read's 'Metal Artefacts of Antiquity' (2000, pp. 30, 41, fig. 24, no. 349). Read suggests the Wiltshire example formed part of a matching suite of items. | 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
