Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy composite strap end of Medieval date. One sheet plate, the terminal knop and the very base of the forked spacer survive intact, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. The plate is flat, rectangular in form, tapering slightly and with concave sides at the terminal end. Any means of attachment at the attachment end are obscured by post-depositional encrustation. At the base of hte object is a projecting terminal knop that is acorn shaped in form and has a central circular rivet hole with separately cast rivet that has flattened round heads. A fragment of the forked spacer survives projecting from the terminal knop, but this is mostly incomplete due to old breaks. The entire object measures 54.66mm in length, 18.22mm in width, 1.83mm in thickness (at plate, 5.21mm at knop), and weighs 5.83g.This is an incomplete composite strap end of Medieval date. Similar examples are noted from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 675, 677, 684, 705), which suggest a 14th century AD date for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
