Description: | An incomplete sheet copper alloy three piece composite strap end with rectangular sheet spacer. Both sheets and the spacer are rectangular in shape, the front and back sheets missing most of their original length due to old breaks and currently shorter than the spacer. The strap end is crescentic in shape at its base and has at its centre a small projecting terminal with knop. It measures 27.48mm in length, 9.77mm in width, and weighs 2.73g.
Composite strap ends with projecting terminal ends such as this are common in the later Medieval period, with examples from Medieval London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 663, 698-699) and Norwich (Margeson, 1993: no. 231) indicating a date in the 14th to 15th century for this object. | Subjects: | Composite | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
