Description: | The strap end is made of three copper alloy sheet that have riveted together, the third sheet runs for only half the length in the forward section and is sandwiched in between the two larger plates, this results in a slotted attachment end which would have held the strap. There is a copper alloy rivet towards the forward edge and a second in the centre of the attachment end, this one appears to be made or iron. The terminal serrated with three points, the centre one is the largest. Much of the original patina remains, which is dark green, the edges have suffered from corrosion and there are scratch marks on the surface that are post deposition. The artefact has been silvered, but some of this has been removed because of the scratches and corrosion. This sort of strap end has been found in excavated contexts in London and have been dated to the 13th-15th 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: | 1200
