This strap end is bent and damaged, it is rectangular in shape and measures 51mm in length and 9mm in width. There is a central rivet at the attachment end and traces of leather can be seen , from the original strap. The terminal is a rectangular shaped knop with rounded corners, on the front face this terminal projects and has been decorated with radiating grooves, the back face is flat. 2: An incomplete copper-alloy composite strap end with a sheet spacer, now missing, which would have occupied its full width. Only the front sheet of this strap end survives, it is rectangular in shape and bent at almost a 90 degree angle, it would measure 56mm in length, if unbent and measures 9mm in width. There is a rivet hole in the centre of the attachment end. The terminal is a square knop which has been decorated on its front face with a transverse groove and two opposing notches and two diagonal grooves radiating from the centre of the terminal. Behind the terminal on the back face a fragment of the sheet spacer can be seen as well as a fragment of the back sheet itself. 3: An incomplete copper-alloy composite strap end which would have had a sheet spacer occuping its whole width, this spacer is now missing. The surviving fragment of this strap end consists of part of the front sheet and a fragment of the back sheet, the rest is missing due to old breaks. It is rectangular in shape and measures 31.5mm in length and 10mm in width. The terminal end has a swollen rounded part above a trilobed projecting knop, there is an in situ rivet through the centre of the swollen part and on the back face there is a fragment of the back sheet remaining around this rivet. 4: A complete copper-alloy composite strap end. This strap end is rectangular in shape measuring 25mm in length and 12mm in width, there are two parallel rivets, one in the centre of the attachment end and one in the centre of the terminal end. The terminal has a central projecting knop and is rounded. Traces of leather can be seen inside this strap end from the strap. These strap ends are medieval and 14th century in date they are similar to examples found in London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 146-147 fig 96). | Subjects: | composite | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
