Description: | Medieval (1270-1400) cast copper alloy strap loop. The object is sub-rectangular in plan. It has a hole in one arm for a rivet. Three of the arms are D-shaped in section. The fourth arm (containing the hole) is rectangular in section. It might have been used on spur straps or wrist guard straps. Egan, Dress Accessories 1150-1450, 2002 page 232-4 has identical examples dating from the late 13th to the end of the 14th century. It has a dark green patina. The object could not be taken out of its card/plastic mount so the weight is approximate.
