Description: | A copper-alloy strap loop of Medieval date, c. 1250-1400 AD. The frame is D-shaped in plan and has an off-set square-sectioned strap bar. At the apex of the loop, there is a moulded oval knop with an oval-sectioned collar. A small raised horizontal ridge is placed slightly above the strap bar at either side. The piece measures 14.84mm long, 16.03mm wide, 4.72mm maximum thickness and weighs 2.0 grams.Similar loops are illustrated in Griffiths, Philpott and Egan, 2007, Meols: The Archaeology of the North Wirral Coast, plate 22. Another PAS example, SWYOR-A88050 has an integral inwardly-projecting circular rivet; this example does not exhibit breaks in that area, so it is supposed that no rivet was used in this example.
