Title |
Post-medieval to modern S-shaped snake form strap fitting or fastener |
||
Description |
English: A copper-alloy S-shaped, snake-form strap fitting or fastener of post-Medieval to modern date.
The artefact is 'S-shaped'. The terminals take the form of the neck and head of a dragon-like animal with clear ears, eyes, an upturned snout and open jaw. The neck is thin, of pointed-oval section and forms a broad curve. At the centre of the object, dividing the two animals, is a tripple knopped moulding. What appear to be scales are shown as a moulding to either side of the central knops. The object is fairly worn and has a predominantly dark green patina, with areas of dark brown. The earliest snake-form fasteners appear on portraits of the early post-Medieval period, often in association with sword-belts. After falling out of fashion in the 17th century, they regained popularity at the end of the 18th century, when they began to be used on certain military uniforms (Bailey 1997: 20). The form of this particular piece suggest that it may be one of the later examples. Compare LIN-92D733, SWYOR-EC2FB8 and WILT-468492 which are very similar. |
