Description: | A copper alloy composite strap end with a sheet spacer sandwiched between the front and back plates. It is rectangular in shape and 38mm in length. The attachment end is 18mm in width and the attachment edge is straight. There is one rivet in the centre of the attachment end 1.5mm from the edge, to attach the strap. The terminal end narrows to 15mm in width and there is a single central rivet, 5mm from the terminal edge, that holds the spacer in place. The terminal end finishes in a small central protuberance which is roughly semi-circular in shape, 3mm in length and 2.5mm in width. Neither the front or back plate has any decoration. There is a similar strap end in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 147) although this parallel is slightly smaller. The strap end is likely to be 14th century in date. | 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: | 1300
