Description: | A copper-alloy composite strap end, 10mm in width and 45mm in length. It has a spacer of sheeting occuping its whole width sandwiched between the front and back plates. It is rectangular in shape until the terminal end which is decorated with two parallel projecting knops the bases of which taper into a narrow rectangular-shaped 'neck' 3mm in length and 4mm in width. Below this it flares out again to form another rectangular shape which is 7mm in width and 9mm in length, which appears to also have a separate piece of sheeting that has been riveted to the front of it. This is decorated by two transverse parallel grooves beneath which there are more grooves radiating out from the centre of the rectangular-shape. The attachment end is rectangular in cross-section and has one rivet in its centre near the top edge. There is an almost identical parallel strap end in Egan and Pritchard (1991, p147-148, no 703) which is dated to the 14th century. | 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
