Description: | Button and loop fastener or strap terminal Fragment of a cast copper-alloy button and loop fastener or strap terminal.This object is incomplete with only the loop, shank and a small part of the 'button' remaining. The complete 'button' would have taken the form of an open oval or circle. The flat front face of this ring is decorated with circular indentations, which may have been enamelled. The shank is at an angle of 90° to the 'button' and the loop (which are parallel and in the same plane). Parallels: This fastener does not fit into Wild's (1970) typology. It is closely paralleled by another piece from the related 1843 hoard (M. 33), Spratling's (2011) style group V, and find no. 13 from the 2011 assemblage.Measurements: Length: 23.1mm; width: 16.1mm; thickness: 10.6mm; diameter of loop: 13.4mm; weight: 5.0g
