Description: | A copper alloy composite sheet strap end of Medieval date. It has a front and back plate that are rectangular in shape, between which is a shorter spacer plate. The plates taper at the base of the strap end towards a rounded terminal that has a small central projecting knop. The plates are held together my a small circular rivet with flattened circular head at the open end and a corresponding rivet at the closed end. The upper plate has an incised rocker decoration saltire cross that extends approximately three quarters of the way down the strap end. It measures 36.56mm in length, 11.75mm in width, and weighs 3.54g. A near identical example in terms of decoration and shape can be noted in Medieval Norwich dating to the 14th century AD (Margeson, 1993: no. 234). | Subjects: | Composite | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
