Title
A Medieval Strap Fitting (reverse)
Description
English: An incomplete copper alloy swivel strap fitting dating to the Medieval period (c. AD 1100-1500). The object comprises of two plain D-shaped loops with bevelled internal edges. The loops are joined by a single integral rivet, now missing. The swivel shows signs of wear through pit marks and some deep scratches. The object has a greenish brown patina.

Medieval swivels were used on a range of strap fittings including animal leashes, hanging purses and sword belt fittings. The purpose of this example is undetermined. Similar examples recorded on the PAS database of both a Medieval and Post Medieval date include: <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/832005" title="View details for WMID-AF6A07">WMID-AF6A07</a> and <a href="https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/record/id/775195" title="View details for WAW-2A2804">WAW-2A2804</a>

The overall dimensions are as follows: 18mm in length, 12mm in width, 6mm in thickness and 2.26g in weight.
