Description: | Medieval copper alloy strap end, 45mm long, 31mm wide and 2.5mm thick, The object is in fair condition with a brown patina and weighs 8.57 grams. The object consists of a crescent, with one tip missing, which has an incised border on its upper edge and what appears to be random incised lines within it. The lower side is slightly hollow and the object has three rivet holes, two near the central part of the crescent, one filled and another filled one at the crescents tip. The fourth would have been present in the centre of the missing tip of the crescent. Below the central rivets is a trefoil shaped protrusion which is decorated on its upper side with linear incisions, to indicate a leaf. The reverse of the object is plain and sits slightly above the surface of the crescent. | 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
