Medieval strap fitting |

| Description |
English: Late medieval (probably 15th century) copper alloy belt hanger, probably from a sword belt, or possibly from harness. It measures 50.8mm in length, is 33.7mm wide and weighs 17.68g.
The belt hanger consists of a rectangular loop (24.5x11.4 - internal 18.2x6.8mm - and 4.8mm deep) below which extends another loop at 90° to it, which curves away and almost back on itself but stops and projects an arm upwards to be in line with the rectangular loop. The curved loop has rough shield shape on its extermity furthest from the rectangular loop. This is inscribed with a crude X. The arm (33.3mm long) is also decorated with at least two crude X incisions (more may be obscured by wear and loss of patina). The arm widens from 5.6mm wide above the incomplete loop to 7.2mm wide at its top, where a zoomorphic terminal 11.8mm long and probably in the form of a dog's head, turns at 90° inwards, towards and slightly above the rectangular loop. The terminal has a 7.3mm high, 7.6mm wide snout, in the form of two triangular faces with one edge in common. The top of the head is also faceted along this line and slightly rises for the brow ridge (6.8mm). Cf. other finds of this type, from the Isle of Wight, Norfolk and Wiltshire: IOW-7A0A93, NMS-D99313, WILT-EA8188. |
