Description: | Medieval copper-alloy strap end. This is a double sheet strap end with two long rectangular sheets (one broken) being riveted together at one end by two smaller sheets. These two smaller sheets are riveted at the far end and on the outside of the two larger sheets, and form a knop or terminal at this end. This terminal is a half-oval in shape and has at a grooved sunburst design. The rivet hole passes through the centre of both parts of the terminal. The large sheet which forms the front of the strap end is decorated with two zigzag lines, one running down each of the long sides of the sheet. The back sheet is plain. The original surface survives as a mid green patina and all exposed surfaces are a lighter green. The break edges are worn and the object is bent. It measures approximately 54mm long, 7.9mm wide along the shaft, is 1.42mm thick and weighs 2.86g. Egan, G. and Pritchard, F. 1991. Dress Accessories c. 1150-c.1450, pages 124-161. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Pooley, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
