Description: | Medeival trapezoidal strap slide of copper alloy with a pair of internal projections. These were used to hold down the loose end of the strap beyond the buckle. This example has a knop in the middle and either end of the top (as defined by Egan and Pritchard (1991); the longer side of the trapizoid). The internal projections are found around three quarters of the distance from the top to the shorter edge.The strap slide weighs 3.38g and measures 21x18mm. The minimum internal length (i.e. the width of the strap) is 19mm.It resembles objects 1260 and 1261 (although these have more ornate middle knops) and 1263 (although this protrudes below the internal projections) in Egan and Pritchard (1991). These date from 1150-1400.
