Description: | A cast copper-alloy medieval strap-slide with a pair of short pointed internal projections (c. 3.6mm in length). It is trapezoidal in shape with rounded corners and a very slightly bowed outer edge. The artefact is flat on both upper and lower faces and is seemingly plain. The projections lie closer to the inner edge. A similar example can be found illustrated in Griffiths et al. (2007, 129; ref. 1333). Many such trapezoidal examples have been found in 13th-century contexts. This piece is dark grey/green of patina with some small traces of off-white corrosion product. This object has been twisted slightly in profile and bent slightly to one side following post-depositional damage.
