Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy swivelling strap fitting of probable Medieval date. One loop survives intact, the remainder of the object now missing due to old breaks. The loop is D-shaped, oval in section, and with a flaring base that has a central circular aperture. Within the aperture are the corroded remains of an iron rivet, most of whcih is missing due to old breaks. This object measures 24.81mm in width, 21.26mm in height, 3.63mm in thickness, and weighs 5.14g.This is probably a loop from a swivelling Medieval strap fitting similar to examples recorded through the PAS (see for example SF-D1B594, LIN-C3B6C0, SWYOR-0C6DD1, LVPL-ADA156 or SUR-CA6364). It is of probable 12th-15th century AD date, although a slightly later range cannot be ruled out entirely. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
