Description: | A sheet copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date. It has a shield-shaped plate with triangular notches to either side and a single central rivet hole at the curved, D-shaped attachment end, now missing its rivet due to old breaks. At the terminal end is a separately cast copper-alloy bar mount that is rectangular in form with a D-shaped section with faceted front face. This is held in place by a central cylindrical rivet with flattened round heads and a separately cast square rove on the back face. It measures 16.13mm in length, 11.95mm in width, 2.24mm in thickness, and 0.83g in weight. This strap end is similar to examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 732, 735) and 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 |
