Description: | A copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date. It has a flat, shield shaped plate with one large and one small triangular notch to each side, and a single central rivet hole at the curved, D-shaped attachment end that has a separately cast cylindrical rivet with flattened round heads. At the terminal end is a separately cast copper-alloy bar mount that is rectangular in form, curved in section and with a 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 19.76mm in length, 11.74mm in width, 3.07mm in thickness (at bar mount; 0.81mm at plate), and 1.57g in weight. This strap end is similar to examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 732, 734) 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 |
