Description: | A copper-alloy composite strap end, which would have had a sheet spacer occuping its whole width. This strap end is in two halfs and one side of the half which is the attachment end is missing. The remaining side of the attachment end is the front face, it has a single central rivet hole near to the attachment edge and is decorated with two diagonal lines of two rows of indented zig-zags, and by transverse grooves at the attachment end and just before the break. The other half or terminal end is decorated on its front face in the same way, with two diagonal lines of two rows of indented zig-zags. The terminal is in the shape of a fleur-de-lis, with each of the three terminals of the lis also being fleur-de-lis shaped. Similar compostie strap ends with flat spacers occupying their whole width have also been found in London in 14th century deposits (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 147-148 No. 703) | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
