Description: | A Medieval cast copper alloy strap slider, c.1250-1400 AD. The slider consists of a single, sub-rectangular loop with two separate internal rivets which are badly worn. The longest side of the frame is 23.4mm long and is D-shaped in section with a flat inner edge. The outside convex edge is beveled with incised grooves creating ridges on the edges, and measures 2.8mm thick. The opposite side of the frame has the two central protruding rivets. This side and the two short sides are rectangular in section. The slider has a green patina with a good deal of pale concretion on top. It measures 21.4mm long on the bottom edge, 14.5mm wide and 1.9mm thick. It weighs 1.11 grams. Egan and Pritchard (1991, 234) illustrate a similar example with one rivet, ref. 1248, which they assign to a late 13th-14th century date.
