Description: | A cast copper-alloy medieval strap-slide with a pair of short pointed internal projections (c. 3.5mm in length). It is sub-oval in shape; rectangular before expanding in an oval beyond the prongs. The artefact is flat on both upper and lower faces and is seemingly plain. The projections lie closer to the inner edge. A similar example can be found illustrated in Griffiths et al. (2007, 129; ref. 1313). Many such examples have been found in 13th-century contexts. This piece is dark grey patina with some patches of off-white corrosion product. The are file marks on the internal surface of the outer edge.
