Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy sword belt fitting of Post-Medieval date. It has a triangular plate with trilobate terminal at one end, tapering towards the base which is incomplete due to old breaks. On the front face of the plate and lobes is moulded foliate decoration, with the remains of two central iron rivets visible positioned at either end of the plate, one now incomplete due to old breaks. The back face is flat and undecorated. It measures 29.50mm in length, 21.44mm in width, 2.20mm in thickness, and weighs 5.14g. This is one piece from a larger sword belt fitting of Post-Medieval date identical to a published example from Somerset (Read, 2008: no. 793). It is of probable 16th to 17th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
