Description: | Medieval copper alloy composite tongue-shaped strap end composed of five elements, two sheet plates, a thick full-width spacer and two ovoid cast pieces at the fully round acorn knop. The front plate is decorated with a vertical line of three conjoined lozenges and a half lozenge (two oblique lines) at both ends. Each lozenge contains an engraved saltire. A copper alloy rivet at the attachment-end once secured the two outer plates to the textile strap of which a fragment remains between them. Above the neck of the knop there is a curved cut-out and notch on both sides forming twin curled knops. The cup of the acorn is covered with engraved cross-hatching (i.e. the decorated was executed after the five elements had been joined together). Length 59.5mm. Width 11mm. 14th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
