Description: | Fragment of copper alloy post-medieval dress fastener. What remains is the main body and loop of the fastener but no indications of a hook or loop below. The body is formed from an openwork plate, flat in section, that has two opposing divergent kidney-shaped piercings. The outer edge of the plate is shaped to follow the indent of the kidney shapes. The attachment loop at the top of the fitting is rectangular, typical of dress fittings of this date. Otherwise the rest of the fitting is entirely missing. The front face of the fitting is decorated with incised zig zags around the piercings. The break edge is worn, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The original surface survives with a mid green patina. The fragment is 25.38mm long, 17.66mm wide, 1.7mm thick and weighs 3.81g. | 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
