Description: | A copper-alloy strap loop of medieval date. Several examples of these artefacts have been found in excavations in London, mostly in layers dating from the late 13th to late 14th centuries AD (G. Egan and F. Pritchard; 1991; pp. 232-235). It is thought that their purpose was to hold down loose straps.
The object consists of a trapezoidal frame and has an external projection of circular section, which extends outwards from the centre of the shorter vertical side. The sides of the frame are of rectangular section.
The strap loop measures 11.4mm long, 10.8mm high and 1.7mm thick. The weight is 0.49g. | 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
