Description: | A complete medieval composite strap-end with stylised collared acorn knop terminal. Cast in copper alloy, the spacer plate is approximately 18.4mm in length. The collared acorn knop is relatively crudely rendered. The pair of plain flanking sheet plates survive well, with some slight bends and superficial damage. They are riveted at their lower end to the spacer. They are also riveted to each other through the remnant of the leather strap at the attachment end. Each sheet is c. 0.6mm thick and tapers from a width of 8.35mm at the attachment end to 6.7mm above the terminal. Similar strap-ends can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 144; fig. 94) and date to the 14th or 15th centuries AD. | 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
