Description: | An incomplete cast copper strap fitting of probable 13th to 14th century AD date. The object is probably some sort of harness fitting or strap slider (pers. comm. Kevin Leahy). It measures 37.6mm by 24.7mm by 5.3mm and weighs 8.4g. At one end there is an incomplete sub-recangular loop which connects with a solid sub-rectangular section set at right angles to the loop. This sections expands slightly into a rounded end with a trefoil knop. The end of the solid section is perforated by a circular hole with a diameter of 5.7mm. At the point at which the two sections join, there is some simple decoration in the form of short diagonal moulded lines. There are three on each side. On the surviving part of the outside edge of the loop there are three short tranverse ridges. | 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
