Description: | A sheet copper alloy strap end of late medieval to early post-medieval date. The rectangular strap end measures 27.3mm by 22.6mm by 3.8mm and weighs 2.89g. It has been formed from a folded sheet, which is decorated on one side with stamped motifs (some are arguably conjoined). These are in the form of a line of cording, along the seam, and two lines of beading, which flank a blackletter 'legend'. This appears to comprise solely minims. There are two iron rivets close to the open end. This accessory appears to be analogous to the 'Blossoms-Inn' site assemblage from London and may even have come from this workshop (Geoff Egan, pers. comm.). A similar strap end is illustrated in Egan's 'Material Culture in London in an Age of Transition' (2005, p. 41, no. 149). These are among the last strapends known in the medieval tradition. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
