Description: | A copper-alloy strap fitting or strap end of probable Medieval date. It comprises a single rectangular sheet of copper alloy folded at the base to create an upper and lower plate of equal size. At the attachment end are two circular rivet holes, one of which retains a separately cast rivet with dome-shaped head. The terminal end has concave or diagonal sides with the folded base having a relatively wide oval shaped gap when viewed in profile, as if to hold in place a loop or frame of some kind. The entire object measures 24.99mm in length, 12.29mm in width, 4.01mm in thickness and 2.40g in weight. This is a strap end or fitting of Medieval date similar to examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 585, 587, 743-756). It is of probable 14th to 15th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
