Description: | A copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date. It is formed from a single flat rectangular sheet of copper-alloy folded widthways at the base to create a strap end with rectangular plates of equal length. At the attachment end each plate has a circular rivet hole that holds in place a separately cast copper-alloy rivet with flattened round heads. The attachment end of the front face has slight notches on both side and the outer edge. The entire object measures 19.12mm in length, 8.12mm in width, 4.29mm in thickness and 1.49g in weight. This is a strap end of Medieval date similar to examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 585, 587) and 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 |
