Description: | A slightly corroded cast copper-alloy medieval strap-slide/loop (c. 14th century AD). The artefact is an elongated D shape with a collared globular knop at the centre of the outer edge. The collar is formed of a transverse ridge with a groove above and below. Through the inner edge is a central perforation within which a separated copper-alloy rivet survives in place. This object now has a dark-green patina with areas of lighter green corrosion product around the knop. For D-shaped strap loops with separate rivets see Read (2001, 22; refs. 223-225) and Griffiths et al. (2008, 131; refs. 1449-1451).
