Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date. It is formed from a single sheet of copper-alloy folded at the terminal end to create a front and back plate of equal dimension. These are rectangular in form, with a slightly concave attachment end that has a central circular aperture which is incomplete at its upper edge. The bottom corners are cut diagonally, and there are separately cast, single copper-alloy rivets present at the attachment either side of the circular apertures. The entire object measures 22.95mm in length, 17.12mm in width, 3.51mm in thickness, and 3.24g in weight. This is a copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date similar to examples published from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 582) and is of probable c.14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
