Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy sword belt fitting of Post-Medieval date. Only the toggle end of the fitting (catch piece) survives intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. The terminal is rectangular in form and section with a raised transverse rectangular bar giving it a T-shape appearance. At the attachment end this expands to a wider rectangular plate with bifuricated projections to either side and the incomplete remains of a cental circular rivet hole where the plate terminates in old breaks. Both surfaces are worn and undecorated. It measures 20.83mm in length, 13.85mm in width, 4.15mm in thickness and 1.89g in weight. This is an incomplete sword belt fitting of Post-Medieval date with near identical examples published by Read (2008: no. 754), c.16th-17th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
