Description: | A cast copper-alloy medieval strap-loop/slide with a separate internal iron rivet and rove (L.: 4.8mm). It has five sides, including an outwardly arched outer edge, which is bevelled. The inner edge is the thickest part of the object (up to 4.15mm) and features the rivet which travels through a central perforation. There are file marks on the exterior of the shortest sides and the inner edge. Similar examples from London (e.g. Egan and Pritchard (1991, 232; ref. 1252) tend to be from later 14th-century contexts. This example has a grey-green patina. | Subjects: | strap slide | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
