Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy strap fitting or belt mount of Post-Medieval date. It has a flat, rectangular plate that on each side has two large semi-circular notches. At each end the front face has a single transverse groove with slight triangular notches where groove and edge of plate meet, and at the centre of each side. Further pairs of small triangular notches are present at the centre of each side between the semi-circular notches. On the back face of the plate one end has a complete and integrally cast copper-alloy pin or lug that is rectangular in form and missing its tip due to old breaks. The opposing lug is missing due to old breaks. The entire object measures 26.85mm in length, 13.88mm in width, 1.52mm in thickness and 3.29g in weight. This is an incomplete strap mount or fitting of Post-Medieval date with near identical examples recorded through the PAS database (e.g. SOM-A49DA0 or DENO-62C053 (with references)). It is of probable 16th-17th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
