Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date. It has a flat rectangular plate with semi-circular notches on its sides that is missing the outer edge of its attachment end due to old breaks. At the terminal end there is a separately cast copper-alloy bar mount that is rectangular in form, curved in section and with faceted outer edges. This is held in place by a separately cast central copper-alloy rivet with flattened round heads. A central circular rivet hole is present at the incomplete attachment end. The entire object measures 15.34mm in length, 14.78mm in width, 2.64mm in thickness (at bar mount; 0.84mm at plate), and 1.37g in weight. This strap end is similar to examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 732-738) 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 |
