Description: | An incomplete sheet copper-alloy object, probably a strap fitting or similar of Medieval to Post-Medieval date. A flat, rectangular fragment survives intact, terminating in two directions in old breaks. At the intact corner is a circular rivet hole containing a separately cast cylindrical rivet with flattened heads, a second similar rivet hole possibly visible in the old breaks on the opposite side of the fragment. It measures 29.78mm in length(?), 18.63mm in width(?), 0.82mm in thickness and 1.61g in weight. The precise function of this object remains uncertain, although it plausibly served as a strap fitting or similar item. It is likely to be of Medieval or later date, c.14th-17th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
