Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy composite strap end with a forked spacer. Only the forked spacer and on outer plate of this strap end now survive, the rest is missing due to an old break.
The strap end measures 36mm in length and 24mm in width, it is rounded in shape. The forked spacer is cast and U-shaped it has a projecting acorn-shaped terminal. The sheet plate is attached to the forked spacer via a copper-alloy rivet through the base of the sheet and the spacer, just above the terminal.
Very similar strap ends, though more complete have been discovered in London and are medieval and 14th century in date (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 140-141, fig 92). | 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
