Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Medieval strap slider, dating to c. 1250-1400 AD. The slider consists of a single, sub-rectangular loop with a drilled hole for a separate internal rivet. A portion of the rivet remains in the hole, but the majority of the rivet is now missing. The upper edge of the slider is sub-oval in section and the other three sides are all varying degrees of thickness and rectangular in section. The slider has a uniform dark jade green patina and is fairly corroded. It measures 16.8 mm long, 15.1 mm wide, 2.7 mm max. thickness and weighs 2.95 grams.Egan and Pritchard (1991, 234-235) illustrate a similar example, No. 1248, which they assign to a late 13th to 14th century date.
