Description: | A cast copper-alloy medieval strap-slide with a pair of short pointed internal projections (c. 2.7mm in length). It is sub-trapezoidal in shape with slightly rounded corners. The artefact is flat on both faces. The projections lie closer to the inner edge. Similar examples can be found illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 234; fig. 149). Many of these trapezoidal examples have been found in 13th-century contexts. This object has corroded to a dark-grey colour with small patches of off-white corrosion product. The inner bar has been slightly bent at its centre.
