Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date. It is formed from two separately cast rectangular plates of equal size that taper towards the base. At the centre of the attachment end both plates have a semi-circular notch and are held together by a central rivet that is cylindrical in form with flattened round heads. At the rounded base both plates have a projecting semi-circular knop. The front face has traces of incised decoration that is partially visible at the attachment end but its precise form obscured by extensive corrosion and post-depositional wear. This comprises a grooved border that contains within it a rectangular panel filled with a cross saltire. The entire object is slightly bent due to post-depositional damage, and measures 58.63mm in length (bent), 14.98mm in width, 2.83mm in thickness, and 8.13g in weight.This is a copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date similar to examples noted from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 605, 611). It is of probable c.14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
