Description: | A Medieval cast copper alloy strap slider, c.1250-1400 AD. The slider consists of a single, trapezoid loop with a separate internal rivet. The longest side of the frame is the upper edge, 14.1mm long and is D shaped in section with a flat inner edge. The opposite side of the frame has the central protruding rivet which is circular in section and measures approximately 3.3mm long. This side and the two short sides are rectangular in section. The slider has a uniform dark olive-green patina. It measures 12.3mm long on the bottom edge, 12.2mm wide and 2.6mm thick. It weighs 0.72 grams. Egan and Pritchard (1991, 234) illustrate a similar example, ref. 1248, which they assign to a late 13th to 14th century date (ibid, 235).
