Description: | Two piece strap-end with a hinged copper alloy sheet plate and cast copper alloy loop. The undecorated plate is perforated by three copper alloy rivets, two set in the corners furthest from the hinge and one in the centre. The semi-circular loop has a flat back and a central hole (diameter 3mm). It is decorated with a series of punched dot motifs crudely arranged into rows. The central part of the loop is slightly recessed and relatively free of the punched decoration. The end of the loop is furnished with a terminal perforated (diameter 3mm) in the opposite plane to the perforation of the loop. Overall length 49mm, length of plate 25mm, width of plate 14mm, length of loop 29mm, maximum width of loop 16.5mm. Probably fourteenth to fifteenth century in date. A number of comparable examples of this hinged form of strap-end have been recovered from late 14th to early 15th century contexts in London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 154-155, nos.720-726). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
