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 sides between the top and the internal projections are curved. The internal projections lie around three quarters of the distance from the top to the short side. The strap slide weighs 3.71g and measures 22x17mm. The minimum internal length (i.e. the width of the strap) is 15mm.It most closely resembles object 1262 in Egan and Pritchard (1991), although this lacks knops on the top edge. This dates from 1350-1400. Examples with knops (1260, 1261 and 1263) have straight sides above the internal projects. These date from 1150-1400.
