Description: | A cast copper alloy strap end of late medieval date. The openwork one-piece strap end measures 65.5mm by 42.8mm by 8.1mm and weighs 18.4g. It consists of an openwork roundel with a square attachment edge on one side and an oval terminal opposite. The attachment edge contains two rivet holes and the oval terminal is turned through 90 degrees and perforated in the centre. The strap end is very worn and fairly corroded and as a result it is not possible to define the nature of the openwork design. This strap end probably dates from the late 14th or 15th century AD. The closest parallels in Egan and Pritchard's 'Dress Accessories' are nos. 709 and 710 (1991, pp. 150-1), although these examples both have hollow centres. | 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: | 1350
