Copper-alloy, 6.01 grams, 54.91 mm. 14th-15th century AD. A thin (about 1mm) copper-alloy plate of quadrangula shape with rounded lower end and circular perforation below the upper edge. The surface is covered with a geometric design comprising a central feature shaped like a fish with incised chevron detailing, set among lateral bands with triangular or billet infill. The article is the upper plate from a complex tag or strap end, and traces of the solder attachment for the lower plate remain. There are two separate rivets still inplace beside the perforation, whose length indicates that the strap was about 2.5mm thick. Reference: cf. complex belt-plates with separate rivets in Read, B. Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, vol.1, Langport, 2001 figs.185-90. Very fine condition. Provenance: found near Southampton, Hampshire, England.
