Description: | The lower section of a copper alloy swivel for a strap of Medieval date. The swivel could have any number of uses including: a restraint for pets, for suspending cooking vessels or for use in horse harnesses. The swivel has been broken and the upper section is missing. It is semi circular in shape with a flattened, sub rectangular shank on the longest flattened side. A protruding circular knob sits upon the sub rectangular shank which acts as the swivel.An example can be found in Griffiths, D., Philpott, G and Egan, G. (2007) Meols: The Archaeology of the North Wirral Coast: no. 2325.
