Description: | A copper-alloy plate from a composite strap-end of 13th to 14th century AD date.
The plate is tongue-shaped, tapering in width slightly from the damaged top edge to the rounded terminal. There are no rivet holes and it is unclear how the plate was attached to the leather strap. On the reverse are several file marks and traces of a lead or tin solder, the latter of which may indicate the means by which the plate was joined to a spacer.
The object measures 34.7mm long, 18.9mm wide and 0.8mm thick. The weight is 3.37g. | 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: | 1200
