Description: | Cast copper alloy strip, probably part of a Medieval mount or binding strip from an item such as a casket. The main strip is rectangular, widening out to a semi-circle at one end which is thinner and broken across the side opposite the joint with the main strip. The other end has a double raised tansverse collar on the front and then forks, probably originally an oval terminal with a circular attachment hole through it. The main strip is slightly D-shaped in section with a flat back and slightly convex front. The breaks at both ends are worn and it is very corroded. It is 48.9mm long, 15.9mm wide and 1.9mm thick; it weighs 4.35 grams.Similar strips are illustrated in Egan (1998:71-77, e.g. no.143, 147 and no.194), NCL-78A5C6 on this database is also similar
