Description: | Cast copper alloy strap junction length 30mm, width 18mm, thickness 5mm, weight 1.96g. This is a copper alloy plate (1mm thick) with two rivet holes, one still retains a copper alloy rivet. At one end is the remains of a loop (3.3mm in diameter) that would have formed a penannular. This would have had a parallel plate at the other end of the pennanular, the two plates would have been riveted together sandwiching a strap in the centre. There would have most likely been a ring within the loop. such strap junction are known from the Early Medieval Period, such as the two found in grave B68 at Beckford cemetery which were made of iron and dated to the 6th century (Evison and Hill 87, 188) and three examples that were found in Flixborough and dated to the 9th century (Evans & Loveluck, 2009, 23-24).Evans D.
