Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap fitting, possibly a sword belt hanger, of Post-Medieval date. It has a triangular plate that has a slightly concave back face and triangular notch at the centre of the attachment end. At its base the plate tapers to a flattened rectangular hook that curves backwards and holds in place a small, separately cast copper-alloy ring. The remains of single central iron rivets are visible at top and bottom centre of the plate, but are now mostly incomplete due to old breaks. The entire object measures 36.98mm in length, 15.07mm in width, 2.23mm in thickness and 3.77g in weight.This is a strap fitting, probably a sword belt hanger or similar, of Post-Medieval date. It finds near identical parallels in examples from Norwich (Margeson, 1993: nos. 257-258) and 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 |
