Description: | A Medieval cast copper alloy strap end made of two sheets of metal riveted together and possibly soldered. The strap end is rectangular, tapering slightly from the attachment end to the terminal and ends with a projecting angular knop. It is riveted near the attachment end and near the terminal with seperate copper alloy rivets the ends of which were hit flush with the surface. The strap end is very plain in style and thus hard to date precisely but it seems similar in form to medieval types, particularly those with spacers, e.g. Egan and Pritchard 1991 page 142-3, plate 93, No.665 which date to the 14th century. Several similar examples recorded on the database are also identified as medieval e.g. NMS-34C528. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
