Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap fitting or loop of Medieval date. It is pentagonal in form with a flat rectangular bottom edge that has a central circular aperture through which passes an internally projecting copper-alloy rivet. The sides and curved front/upper edge of the loop are faceted to produce a pentagonal section with extensive tool marks on all surfaces. It measures 19.96mm in length, 15.01mm in height, 3.04mm in width/depth, 1.60mm in thickness, and weighs 2.16g. This strap loop is near identical to an example from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 1252) and is of 14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
