Description: | A copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date. It has a flat, shield shaped plate with concave sides and single triangular notches towards the terminal end. At the attachment end is a separately cast copper-alloy bar mount that is rectangular in form with bevelled edges and held in place by a central cylindrical rivet which has a circular rove on the back face. A second similar rivet with circular rove is present at the centre of the terminal end, and at the centre of the plate is a large circular aperture. The entire object measures 20.59mm in length, 10.31mm in width, 1.22mm in thickness and 1.68g in weight. This is a strap end of Medieval date similar to exampes from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 732-737) 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 |
