Description: | A sheet copper-alloy strap or belt fitting of Medieval date. It is formed from two flat rectangular copper-alloy plates that are held together by two cylindrical copper-alloy rivets positioned at each end of the plates and with flattened circular heads. The two plates are separate from one another and create a rectangular aperture through which a strap or belt may have passed. The entire object measures 17.82mm in width, 7.15mm in height, 3.37mm in thickness, and weighs 0.98g.This is a simple, decorative bar mount utilised to adorn a strap or belt of Medieval date. Similar bar mounts are noted by Egan and Pritchard (1991: nos. 1136, 1139) and suggest a later Medieval date, perhaps in the 13th-14th centuries AD for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
