It is similar to the late 14th century strap ends identified by Egan and Pritchard (1991, 149, fig 97).This strap end is rectangular in shape. The front plate is 46mm in length and 21mm in width. It has a scalloped attachment edge with a round aperture. There are two parallel rivets in the front plate at the attachment end, one in each of the two corners. The back plate is 30mm in length and 21mm in width. 18mm down the strap end, from the attachment end, there are two identical open work panels side by side. These panels are rectangular in shape, 16mm in length and 6mm in width, at 11mm from their bases' the rectangular shape of the panels is waisted and then flares out to form a circle which is 5mm in diameter. Beneath the two panels are two rivets 6mm apart and each 7mm from the outer edge of the strap end and close to the terminal end. The terminal ends in a in a circular knop, 3mm in diameter. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1200
