Description: | Cast cu-alloy strap end dating from the medieval period, i.e. c. 14th-15th century. It was made from a thin cast cu-alloy sheet which was slit right through the middle (see image). This is where the leather strap was attached - with the help of a small rivet which is still in plate. The strap is bent which is probably how the leather strap got detached from it. The strap end is very thin and narrow and only the obverse is decorated with a simple zigzag line arranged to form a similarly simple criss-cross pattern. There is no spacer between the two halves of the strap end. The strap end's terminal is a, now very worn, cross or crucifix. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Boughton, Dot - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
