Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy composite strap end of Medieval date. It is missing part of the terminal end on one plate due to old breaks, but is otherwise complete. The strap end is formed from a front and back plate that are rectangular in form, tapering slightly to a porjecting terminal knop. They are separated by a separately cast copper-alloy forked spacer and have triangular notches at the attachment end that give it a scalloped or wave-like appearance. At the centre of the attachment end and at the centre of the terminal end are small circular rivet holes that contain separately cast copper-alloy rivets with flattened round heads. It measures 24.47mm in length, 12.65mm in width, 2.40mm in thickness, and weighs 1.85g. This is a Medieval strap end similar to an example from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 660) 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 |
