Description: | Incomplete copper alloy strap end of Medieval date, probably from a composite strap end. The object is generally rectangular in shape with a pointed terminal end. Only one sheet survives intact, while only the lower portion of the second sheet survives. There are two rivet holes in the complete sheet. One located off centre at the attachment with iron staining around and apparently retaining the remains of the iron rivet. The other located in the centre of the terminal end and retaining the remains of the copper alloy rivet, which also projects through the corresponding rivet hole on the incomplete sheet. There is no decoration evident on either surface. Patchy dark green patina. It is 31.65mm long, 11.56mm wide, 1.84mm thick and weighs 2.4g. A parallel is known from London (Egan & Pritchard 1991, p. 140-143, fig. 93, no. 663). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Puls, Jodi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
