Record ID: PUBLIC-A129C7
Object type: STRAP END
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: East Riding of Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An asymmetrical strap end or mount with a separate sheet backplate attached with two rivets. The larger end of the mount is heart-shaped, and the smaller end is in the form of a trefoil or fleur-de-lis. The rivet at the larger end is separate and of iron, and the one at the smaller end is integral with the copper-alloy mount. It is likely that both rivets were originally of the integral type, and the iron rivet, and possibly the backplate, represent a makeshift repair.

Object type: ARMOUR
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A broken curved piece of sheet copper alloy with two holes close to the outwardly curved edge. the holes are 4mm in diameter. Equally spaced acros the piece are three iron rivets.
There are multiple possible uses for such a fragment of copper alloy, as a patch for a larger copper alloy object, for example. The presence of iron rivets make this object more likley to be later than Roman in date, making a possible use as a Lorica Squamanta, or scale armour, less likley. See NARC-14AEF1 for a description of a Lorica Squamanta. This object could well be armour related, but of a later dat…
