Description: | A cast copper alloy single loop strap slide or loop, of Medieval dating (Late 13th to 14th Centuries AD).The strap slide or loop is sub rectangular in plan, and the frame is D-shaped in cross section. The front is decorated with two expanded ends, tapering in towards the centre, where two raised strips are present. The rest of the frame is plain and undecorated.It is a dark green colour, with an uneven surface patina. The strap loop has suffered from a minor degree of abrasion, resulting in the loss of the surface patina in several locations.The strap loop measures 22.91mm in length, 29.10mm wide and 8.65mm thick. It weighs 13.9 grams.The strap slide or loop would have functioned to hold down loose parts of straps. Similar strap slides or loops have been recorded on the PAS database including LANCUM-FC1FB8 and are dated from the Late 13th to 14th Centuries AD.
