Description: | A medieval copper-alloy strap-plate consisting of two sub-rectangular sheets (Th.: 0.8mm) riveted together towards the short ends. The plates are angled towards their ends, making them the shape of an elongated octagon. There is a central circular perforation on both sheets; on one there is an adjoining small circle. The artefact now has a mid-dark green patina with some areas of lighter corrosion product. For similar see Egan and Pritchard (1991, 225; fig. 141) and Margeson (1993, 39; fig. 22). Such objects tend to have been found in 14th-century contexts.
