Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy composite strap end of Medieval date. Only one plate survives intact, the forked spacer and opposite plate now missing due to old breaks. The plate is flat, rectangular in form with a rounded bottom edge and a slightly flaring attachment end. At the centre of the bottom edge is a projecting rectangular knop. The attachment end is concave in form with a central openwork circular aperture, either side of which are two circular rivet holes. Both rivet holes retain separately cast cylindrical copper-alloy rivets. The back face is flat and undecorated but has the remains of solder where the forked spacer would originally have been positioned. The entire object measures 37.75mm in length, 17.95mm in width, 1.20mm in thickness, and weighs 2.49g. This is an incomplete composite strap end of Medieval date with near identical parallel noted from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 653-654). It is of probable 14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
