Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap fitting, probably a strap clasp of Medieval date. It has an incomplete rectangular frame with offset and narrowed bar, most of the outer edge of the frame now incomplete due to old breaks. The sides of the frame have single vertical moulded groves or ridges. Hinging around the bar is an incomplete copper-alloy plate that is formed from a single flat, rectangular sheet of copper-alloy folded around the bar, now missing its outer edge and parts of the sides due to post-depositional damage. The entire object measures 12.37mm in width, 26.14mm in length, 3.37mm in thickness and 1.51g in weight. It is of Medieval date similar to examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 553-555), c.14th century AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
