Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Medieval tongue-shaped composite strap end with a spacer occupying the whole width. It is missing one plate due to old breaks, now worn.The front plate and spacer are flat and rectangular in shape. They taper towards the terminal where there is a sub-triangular shaped knop. Approximately one third of the way down from the attachment end the front plate is decorated with a pair of transverse grooves. Above this is a pair of opposing lines of zig-zag rocker decoration. The back face and spacer are undecorated. At the attachment and terminal is a central circular rivet hole. The one at the terminal still contains a separately cast copper-alloy rivet with a flattened round head.This strap end measures 42.15mm in length, 10.51mm in width, 2.28mm in thickness, 2.79g in weight.There is a similar example from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p. 147, no. 698). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
