Description: | Medieval copper composite strap end. It is broken so that the closed end is missing and the spacer is absent. It measures 37(incomplete)x20mm and weighs 6.14g.
The strap end has a concave attachment edge with a round aperture which is grooved on the front plate. Either side of this are two copper alloy rivets. The front plate is decorated with engraved zig-zags forming a line along the length of each side and one down the middle. In addition there are two shorter lines of zig-zags, one from below each rivet to the base of the groove. A fragment of leather is preserved between the plates around the rivets.
It is similar to 664 and 670 in Egan and Pritchard (1991) with different decoration. This type of strap end dates from between 1250 and 1450. | 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: | 1250
