Description: | A conjoined pair of mis-cast or unfinished cast copper alloy strap loops dating from 1250-1400AD. These loops are slightly misshapen, have never been separated, and none of the extra metal remaining from the casting process has been removed. They have a very rough, patchy, dark brown patina. They are 33.3mm long, 24.6mm wide and 3.6mm thick. They weigh 6.03gm.These are probably waste products from a manufacturing site, a suggestion borne out by the discovery of other, similar items of casting waste from the same area. Details of these other finds can be found on the database at references SWYOR-0FF1E5, SWYOR-76F578 and SWYOR-76E7F8.A similar strap loop is illustrated in Griffiths, Philpott and Egan, 2007,Meols: The Archaeology of the North Wirral Coast, plate 22, number 1472.
