Description: | Medieval copper alloy tongue-shaped strap end formed from two sheets and secured with two rivets. A D-sectioned acorn knop below a pair of opposed rounded cut-outs comprises the two plates and a third, cast element with a convex front face. Cross-hatched engraving on the cup of the acorn was carried out after the three pieces had been rivited together. The front plate is decorated along the centre with a wavy line of finely executed interrupted rocker-arm engraving giving the appearance of tiny addorsed triangles, and with short lengths of rocker-arm near the sides. Length 59.8mm. Width at the attachment edge 10.7mm, tapering to 8.1mm above the cut-outs. Thickness at knop 3.6mm. 14th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
