Description: | Copper alloy rotating end of a Medieval strap clasp. It has a flat plate that is rectangular in plan. At the inner edge the plate curves around a small cylindrical bar that extends slightly to either side of the plate and would have once held the rotating end in place on the clasp frame. The upper surface of the plate has a rectangular bar mount that is semi-circular in profile and attached by a small circular copper alloy rivet visible on the back face of the plate. It measures 17.43mm in width, 9.92mm in length, and weighs 1.83g. This object would have originally been attached to one end of a strap clasp such as those illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: pp. 118). They are dated to between the 14th and 15th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
