Description: | A worn and incomplete cast copper-alloy probable strap fitting: possibly a medieval/post-medieval strap-end. It is sub-rectangular in form, formed of a strip folded widthways. One fold has an enlarged 'square' terminal (11.15mm by 10.7mm). It is perforated centrally with a round hole which retains a copper-alloy rivet. There is incised decoration around the hole, travelling transversely to each edge and longitudinally to the outer edge. Further diagonal incisions to the constricted continuation (W.: 8.1mm) of the object suggest that this was the visible upper surface. The artefact tapers to the fold, at which point it has a width of 6.7mm. The lower fold tapers further to 5.9mm in width. At the end of this lower fold is a second perforation which would have presumably taken the rivet described above. However, it has broken/abraded through. The two folds are now not aligned due to old damage; the terminal has been struck upwards and from the side. | 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
