Description: | Medieval copper alloy sheet metal strap-end, folded widthways. There is some edge damage. It measures 14.6x16.4mm and weighs 1.3g. The 'back' plate is 13.1mm in length.
There is a single rivet at the centre of the open end and the attachment edge has jagged breaks which may be suggestive of original decorative edge, or may just be damage.
Comparative examples in Egan and Pritchard (1991) date from the late 13th to the middle of the fifteenth century. Cf nos.578 to 587. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
