Object type: STRAP FITTING
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy Post-Medieval artefact of a type normally described as part of naval uniform or a sword belt fitting. The decoration on this artefact should be compared to that seen on the rapier knuckle guard recorded in PAS record CAM-F5F949 that has been dated to the 18th century AD. However, this type of strap-fitting is often assigned a 17th to 18th century AD date. This artefact weighs 9.10g and in its current condition has a length of 48.6mm. One terminal is rounded with a 'D' shaped cross-section. This terminal has a width of 4.7mm and thickness of 3.8mm. The reverse surfa…

An early post-medieval (1500-1700) copper-alloy strap fitting from a sword belt hanger, dating to the period 1500 to 1700.
