Description: | Probably medieval copper alloy strap loop. It is sub-rectangular in shape. One of the longer sides is straight, with a flat inner edge and rounded outer edge. The ends of this side protrude slightly beyond the corners of the loop. The other sides are rectangular in section. The other longer side has a break in the middle, where a portion is missing. The object is undecorated. It lacks the usual rivet holes or projections of strap loops, but probably functioned as one nonetheless. Similar examples can be seen in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 232), fig.147, suggesting a similar fourteenth century date for this one. The metal is green-brown in colour and fairly eroded.Length: 29.5mm, Width: 16.2mm, Thickness: 6.3mmWeight: 4.6g
