Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloystrap end of Medieval date. It is formed from two flat sheets of copper alloy forming a front and back plate, one of which is missing its terminal end due to old breaks. Both plates are rectangular in form and at their base have a narrow neck before expanding to a decorative terminal. The surviving terminal is in the form of a floriated cross and is missing its lower edges due to old breaks. At the open attachment end both plates are held together by a single central copper-alloy rivet that is cylindrical in form with flattened oval shaped heads. This strap end measures 36.04mm in length, 9.32mm in width, 4.04mm in thickness (at attachment end), and weighs 2.82g. Similar strap ends are noted from Norwich (Margeson, 1993: nos. 232-234) and suggest a late Medieval date in the 14th-15th centuries AD for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
