Description: | Incomplete medieval strap fitting, a rectangular copper alloy mount, part of one end or narrow edge missing. Two holes near one end contain remains of rivets. Two rivet holes near the other end are truncated by a break which also cut across a grooved round aperture. What little is left of the end itself suggests it was scalloped. Both sides next to this end are decorated with oblique grooves, and there is a triplet of transverse grooves. Beyond these both are chamfered for a length of 15mm. Total length 39.5mm. Width 12.4mm. Thickness 0.8mm. The grooved round aperture at the scalloped end can be paralleled in many strap ends of the period c.1270 - c.1450 (e.g. Egan and Pritchard 1991, nos. 653 and 705). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
