Description: | Medeival trapezoidal strap slide of copper alloy with a separate internal rivet. Strap slides were used to hold down the loose end of the strap beyond the buckle. This example consists of a trapezoidal frame measuring 11x12mm with an internal minimum length (i.e. the strap size) of 8mm. The rivet is in this shorter end. In total the object weighs 1.14g.
It is similar to objects 1239, 1245, and 1247-1250 in Egan and Pritchard (1991), all of which date from 1350-1400. | Subjects: | Strap slide | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Wood, Rachel | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
