Description: | A cast copper-alloy medieval strap-loop/slide with central perforation for a separate internal rivet with rectangular rove, both surviving in situ. The artefact is broadly rectangular, with a large moulded outer edge. The outer edge has terminal knops and a large central knop. This latter is flat on its reverse and decorated on its upper surface with engraved hatching. Its appearance is therefore reminiscent of a bar mount (see e.g. Read 2001, 23; fig. 12). This object now has a dark green patina with areas of lighter corrosion product. A direct parallel in form from Meols can be found illustrated in Griffiths et al. (2007, 129; ref. 1467).
