Description: | An incomplete medieval copper alloy composite strap-end. The strap-end consists of two sheets of copper alloy with a thicker sheet copper-alloy spacer between. In plan, the strap end is sub-rectangular, tapering slightly towards the elaboarate cruciform terminal. The strap end is 45.7mm long, 8.2mm wide at the top, and 2.5mm thick. It has a mass of 5.4g. The thinner external sheeting is broken at the top. The top of the spacer has a smooth flat surface and appears to be complete. There is a rivet in the upper portion of the strap-end, and probably one in the lower portion of the sub-rectangular section and one within the cruciform terminal, although these are unclear. The strap-end has a well developed green patina. It is broadly similar to object 703 in ??Dress Accessories, 1150-1450?? (Egan and Pritchard, 2002, p147-8) which is from a context dated from c.1350 to c.1400. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Slarke, Duncan - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
