Description: | A medieval copper-alloy strap end. A composite strap end with forked spacer, probably dating from the late 13th to early 15th century AD (G.Egan, 1991). The forked spacer has a projecting pointed terminal and is set between two tongue-shaped plates. These taper from 17.9mm wide at the proximal (attachment) end, to 14.1mm wide at the distal end. The plates are held together by two small copper-alloy rivets located one at each corner at the proximal end. The upper plate has incised decoration in the form of two zig-zag lines each of which is aligned corner to opposite corner. Both plates are damaged and incomplete. The object measures 38.4mm long by 5.2mm thick and weighs 6.93g. | 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
