Description: | A copper-alloy strap-end of medieval date. Several examples of this form of strap-end were found during excavations in London in layers dating from the late 13th century onwards (G.Egan and F.Pritchard; 1991; pp. 129).
The object is simple in form, having been made from a piece of sheet copper-alloy folded in two. The upper edge of the top plate angles inwards towards the centre, terminating in a (possibly damaged) point. The back plate is slightly shorter than the top one; it has a horizontal top edge, at the centre of which is a concave portion, possibly for a rivet.
The strap-end measures 32.4mm high, 23.8mm wide and 5.8mm thick. The weight is 8.38g. | 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: | 1275
