Description: | An incomplete, worn and corroded cast copper-alloy strap slide loop of Medieval date (c. AD 1250-1400). This artefact is trapezoidal in plan and flat in section, with the outer decorated surface convex in section. This surface is marked by a series of grooves which have created five horizontal ridges. At the opposing end of the slide, a small central aperture is retained which would have once held a separate internal rivet and rove, though this element is now missing. This artefact has a dark green corrosion colour, with areas of white, and can be paralleled by SUR-009A37 on this database, and Egan and Pritchard (1991:232, fig. 147 no. 1249) suggesting a 13th-14th century date.
