Description: | A copper alloy Medieval strap end; a composite type with sheet spacers occupying the whole width. It is rectangular in shape, tapering slightly towards the knop end where there is a long neck like extension, giving the strap end the shape of a bottle in plan. The strap end contains two rivets through the two sheets and dividing spacer. The knop is trefoil in shape, with a rivet through also. Apart from the knop, this strap end is undecorated, with a green patina. It measures 43.7mm x 14.8mm x 2.3mm, weighing 5.97g. See Egan and Pritchard??s ??Dress Accessories??, p.146-7 for composite examples. This probably dates between 1350-1400. | Subjects: | Anglo-Saxon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
