Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date. It comprises a front and back plate that are flat, rectangular in form and with a projecting terminal knop at the base. Between them is a separately cast forked spacer with terminal end of the same form as the plates, and with traces of the original leather still visible at the attachment end. The attachment end itself has a central circular aperture from which runs an incised verticl groove down the centre of the front(?) face. To either side of the aperture are single circular rivet holes with separately cast cylindrical copper-alloy rivets with flattened round heads. The entire object has signs of corrosion and post-depositional damage. It measures 25.28mm in length, 13.33mm in width, 4.32mm in thickness and 5.77g in weight. This is a cast copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date similar to examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 653-654, 664). It is of probable 14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
