Description: | Post medieval cast copper alloy strap slide. The slide is formed of a flat strip bent round three sides of a square with spikes at the ends of the sides which project inwards and overlap to form the fourth side, the base. The strip has slightly bevelled edges on the front and the top edge has a restriction in the centre flanked by pairs of curved back leaves with the main strip between them on each side. The projecting spikes start from near the ends of the sides and are narrower, rectangular in section and taper in width and thickness to the squared ends. The slide is 19.9mm wide, 18.8mm long and 9.4mm thick, it weighs 3.76 grams. The piece is similar to 17th century mounts such as Read (2001:36), no.314, 318 however it is different in that the sides are formed of a continuation of the front rather than thinner spikes. It is generall similar to some other strap sides on this database such as: YORYM-F79CF1 and SF-B24B32.
