Description: | A complete copper-alloy strap loop with two opposing internal projections, about a third of the way along the frame. It is trapezoidal in shape measuring 21mm by 14mm in size. This loop would have been used to hold down loose parts of straps and the internal opposing tapering projections would have been set at a right angles to the leather or textile, they could have been moved back and forth along the strap. This form of strap loop with internal projections seems to be the earliest form, they were discoveredin London and were in use from the late 12th to late 14th centuries (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 234, fig 149). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
