Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap fitting or slide of Post-Medieval date. It has a flat, sub-rectangular plate with moulded floral or foliate decoration on the front face. This comprises a central flower from which extend in either direction floral or foliate motifs. The back face is flat and undecorated, with integrally cast copper-alloy rivets or lugs present at each end. These are rectangular in form, oval shaped in section and taper to tips that are folded to an angle of ninety degrees to enable attachment to the belt or strap. The entire object measures 29.55mm in length, 11.19mm in width, 3.32mm in thickness, and weighs 5.55g. This is a decorate strap fitting or belt mount/slide of Post-Medieval date. The floral and foliate decoration suggest a date range in the 16th to 17th centuries AD if not a little later. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
