Description: | The incomplete cast front plate of a copper-alloy crescentic strap end, which originally would have consisted of a cast front plate and a sub-circular sheet underplate held in place with rivets and solder. It is 15th century in date.
The front plate is now in two parts and one of the terminals the crescentic plate are mising due to old breaks.
It measures 44.08mm in total length and 31.57mm in width at its widest point. The terminal is triangular in shape and decorated on its front face with low relief to represent a tree. The rest of the cast front plate is crescentic in shape and engraved with lines to represent the roots of the tree. There are two parallel copper-alloy rivets just below the triangular terminal through the crescentic part and one more rivet hole through the complete terminal of the crescentic part. | 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
