Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date. It is rectangular in form with flat upper and lower plate, the lower plate being slightly narrower than the upper but otherwise of identical form. The plates taper towards their base where there is a slight waist with single triangular notches to either side. Beneath the waist is an oval shaped terminal knop with four triangular notches around its outer edge. Single circular rivet holes are present at the centre of the terminal and attachment ends, each retaining a separately cast copper-alloy rivet with flattened round heads. Traces of rocker decoration are visible on the upper plate, seemingly in the form of a cross saltire, their precise form uncertain due to post-depositional wear. The entire object measures 42.17mm in length, 12.19mm in width, 3.01mm in thickness and 4.47g in weight. This is a copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date, similar to examples pubished from Norwich (Margeson, 1993: nos. 233-234). It 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 |
