Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy composite strap end of Medieval date. The forked spacer and one plate survive, the second plate now missing due to old breaks. The surviving plate is flat, rectangular in form and tapers slightly towards the terminal end. It has a single central rivet hole at the attachment end, with a second central rivet hole at the termial end that holds in place a separately cast copper-alloy rivet with flattened round heads. This holds the plate to the forked spacer. The spacer has two tapering triangular prongs which join at the base of the strap end where there is a projecting acorn shaped knop with transverse collar. The entire object measures 39.14mm in length, 9.76mm in width, 2.28mm in thickness and 1.80g in weight.This is an incomplete composite strap end of Medieval date. It finds near identical parallels in examples published from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 676-680) and is of 14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
