Description: | Distorted (bent almost double) fragment of a medieval gilt copper alloy D-sectioned strap mount from a box or casket. One end is broken across a round aperture. A swelling and thickening around a rivet hole (containing a rivet) is marked at both ends by a transverse groove. Beyond this the width is less as far as an elaborate sub-triangular terminal with three round apertures, two probably for rivets, the third larger and perhaps decorative. Gilding survives as a few specks. Length 63mm. Width 3.2, 5.2, 8.7 and 9.5mm. Thickness 0.4 - 2.5mm. c.1150 - c.1250Field CA1 | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
