Description: | Cast copper alloy composite strap end, length 31mm, width 21mm, thickness 3mm, weight 2.53g. The rear half or attachment end would have had a forked spacer that would have held the strap, this has been snapped at the base, this is an old break. The forward part of the artefact is expanded to form a circle with a hollow centre, at the end of which is a collared acorn terminal with a pointed tip. There would have originally been a sheet copper alloy plate soldered onto the top and bottom of this artefact, both are missing. The artefact is in a poor condition with corrosion removing much of the original patina resulting in a pitted mid green surface. Strap ends such as this have been found in excavations in London and have been dated to 1250-1450. | 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: | 1250
