Description: | A copper alloy double sheet strap end of medieval date. The strap end is long and narrow and tapers towards the trefoil-shaped distal end. It measures 63.1mm in length, 14.34mm at the widest point, 3.11mm thick and it weighs 5.39g. There is a single central rivet at each end, one of which (distal) is integral with the front sheet. The flat undecorated back sheet is slighly smaller than the front sheet, which is decorated with incised lines forming a series of adjoining lozenge shapes. A strap end of similar size and shape can be seen in Egan and Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories c 1150 - c 1450' (1991, pp. 130-1, no. 605), although the decoration is different and this example tapers only slightly. The London example dates from the fourteenth 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
