Description: | A sub-rectangular cast copper-alloy medieval strap-slide with a perforation to take a rivet on the inner edge. Only the head of the rivet remains in situ. The outer edge is slightly bevelled, but otherwise plain. In cross-section the strap-side is rectangular with rounded corners. The patina of the object is dark brown-green with lighter corrosion dusting all over. A close parallel can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 232; ref. 1248); it was found in a context dating to the second half of the 14th century. | Subjects: | strap slide | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
