Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy strap end with a sheet spacer occuping its whole width. The attachment terminal of this strap end is missing due to an old break. The rest of the strap end is rectangular in shape and measures 39mm in length and 12mm in width. A copper-alloy sheet spacer, occuping the whole width of the strap end can be seen sandwiched between the front and back plates. The front plate is decorated with crude incised zig-zags down its centre and longitudinal boarders of smaller zig-zags. There is a single rivet through the centre of the plate. The terminal is shaped like a flower, with petals and measures 10mm in diameter, there is a single rivet through its centre. Similar strap ends have been found in London and are dated to the 14th century (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 147-148, fig 96). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
