Description: | A cast copper-alloy medieval composite strap end. The strap end has a front and back plate, terminating with an acorn knop. Neither plate is decorated, both are a tapering rectangular shape. On top of the front plate a small acorn knop has been positioned, it is decorated with incised cross-hatched lines and a copper alloy rivet has been pushed through it, holding all three plates together.
At the open end there is a rivet hole, containing a copper alloy rivet. The metal is a dark olive-green. This strap end is similar to examples in Egan & Pritchard (1991), p148-9. Egan & Pritchard date them to the late 14th ?? early 15th century from examples that have been found alongside pottery of the same date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
