Description: | A copper alloy composite strap end of Medieval date. It consist of two identical copper alloy plates that are rectangular in form and separated by a copper alloy spacer of uncertain form. The plates and spacer are held together by two small copper alloy rivets that have flat, round heads, one positioned at the centre of the open and and the other at the centre towards the terminal end. The bottom of the stap end tapers slightly and has rounded corners with a flat, projecting trefoil shaped terminal knop. It measures 26.51mm in length, 11.19mm in width, 3.13mm in thickness, and weighs 2.87g.
This strap end is of Medieval date, with a similar example from Winchester (Biddle, 1990: no. 1074) indicating a 13th-14th century AD date for the current example. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
