Description: | A complete strap end consisting of shaped sheet plate with a transverse bar mount at its attachment edge. It is 19mm in length and 12mm in width. The plate is roughly rectangular in shape with two waisted parts and rounded corners and terminal, it has a copper-alloy rivet through the centre of its terminal end. At the other end a copper-alloy bar mount has been attached via a central rivet with a rove. This type of strap end is similar to examples found in London and it is believed that they had a more specialised function, they may perhaps have been joined onto folding clasps. It is medieval and 14th century in date (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 157-158, fig 103). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
