Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy composite strap-end of probable late 13th to 14th century AD date.
The piece consists of a tongue-shaped plate which has been bent widthways, probably by post-depositional processes. The plate has a horizontal top edge and straight sides which converge slightly towards the rounded bottom edge. There are two small circular rivet holes - one located at each of the top two corners - which would have served to attach the piece to a leather strap.
In its current condition, the object measures 18.2mm long, 18.2mm wide and the plate is 0.3mm thick. It weighs 2.17g. | 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
