Description: | A Medieval cast copper alloy strap slider, c.1250-1400 AD. The slider consists of a single, sub-rectangular loop with a drilled hole for a separate internal rivet. The longest side of the frame is 13.2mm long and is D shaped in section with a flat inner edge. The opposite side of the frame has the rivet hole; the rivet itself is missing. This side and the two short sides are rectangular in section. The slider has a uniform dark olive-green patina. It measures 12.1mm long on the bottom edge, 13.0mm wide and 1.6mm thick. It weighs 1.34 grams. Egan and Pritchard (1991, 234) illustrate a similar example, ref. 1248, which they assign to a late 13th to 14th century date (ibid, 235).
