Description: | Medieval Composite strap-plate, rectangular (18 x 38mm), both ends of front-plate with central perforation separated from twin flanking copper alloy rivets by longitudinal lines notched at the outside edge and meeting the outermost of two transverse lines. Large central perforation through both front and back-plates contains iron corrosion and forms a circular impression on the face around the perforation (diameter 10mm), probably indicating a missing domed head for the iron rivet. The plates would have held a strap 3mm thick. Cf. discussion in Dress Accessories 225-7, and fig.141, no.1207. 1st half 15th century.
