Description: | A sheet copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date. It has a shield-shaped plate with triangular notches to either side and a single central rivet hole at the curved, D-shaped attachment end. The attachment end has a projecting triangular knop at its outer edge and the rivet hole contains a separately cast copper-alloy rivet with flattened circular head and separately cast circular rove on the back face. At the terminal end is a separately cast copper-alloy bar mount that is rectangular in form with a D-shaped section. This is held in place by a central cylindrical rivet with flattened round heads and a separately cast rectangular rove on the back face. It measures 15.60mm in length, 10.02mm in width, 2.80mm in thickness, and 1.23g in weight. This strap end is similar to examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 732, 734, 738) and 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 |
