Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy composite strap end of Medieval date. It consists of two very worn and thin rectangular sheets of copper alloy between which is a forked copper alloy spacer. The spacer is rectangular in shape, has two prongs and a large annular terminal. Due to the poor preservation of the object it is uncertain whether any rivets survive. This strap end measures 36.59mm in length, 14.15mm in width, and weighs 3.44g. Composite strap ends such as this are noted from a variety of contexts (see in particular Egan and Pritchard, 1991: pp. 140-146) dating to the Medieval period. An exact parallel for this example has not yet been found, however it is of similar Medieval date. | Subjects: | Composite | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
