Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy strap fitting of Medieval date, probably a strap end. One plate, now bent to an angle of 45 degrees due to post-depositional damage, survives intact, any spacer and opposing plate now missing due to old breaks. The plate is flat, rectangular in form with a concave attachment end that has three small circular rivet holes. One of the rivet holes retains a separately cast cylindrical copper-alloy rivet with flattened round head. There is no evidence for any surviving decoration, but the back face of the plate appears to have possible traces of solder. It measures 30.55mm in length (bent), 19.07mm in width, 0.94mm in thickness and 2.95g in weight. This is an incomplete strap fitting, probably from a composie strap end, of Medieval date, c.13th-15th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
