Description: | A copper alloy composite sheet strap end of Medieval date. It has a front and back plate that are rectangular in shape, between which can perhaps be seen the remains of a shorter spacer plate. The plates taper at the base towards a rounded terminal that has a small central projecting knop. The plates are held together my a small circular rivet with flattened circular head at the open end and a corresponding rivet at the closed end. The upper plate has punched decoration consisting of a lozenge formed from double lines of opposed triangles. It measures 33.13mm in length, 10.04mm in width, 1.71mm in thickness at base and weighs 3.10g. In form this strap end finds parallels in Medieval examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 659, 698) and Norwich (Margeson, 1993: no. 234), and is of probable 14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
