Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date. Only one plate survives intact, the spacer and opposite plate now missing due to old breaks. The surviving plate is flat, tongue shaped in form and bent to an angle of more than 90 degrees due to post-depositional damage. At the attachment and are two circular rivet holes, one of which retains a separately cast copper-alloy rivet with flattened round heads. The interior surface has traces of solder around its edges and base, suggesting that it was originally attached to a forked spacer. The entire object measures 28.44mm in current (bent) length, 17.44mm in width, 0.65mm in thickness and 3.13g in weight. This is an incomplete composite strap end with forked spacer of Medieval date. It is likely to date to the 14th century AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
