Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date. The attachment end, most of one plate and hte sheet spacer are missing due to old breaks. It is formed from two rectangular plates separated by a sheet spacer of the same width. Towards the terminal end the sides of the plates have large semi-circular indentations, followed by smaller rectangular notches. Beneath this extends a decorative terminal with a separately cast mount attached to the front face. This terminal is rectangular in form with concave sides and is decorated on the front face with a single transverse groove at the juncture with the plates, and a flaring triangular notch extending from the centre of the terminal to its bottom edge. The entire object measures 37.94mm in length, 9.51mm in width, 3.34mm in thickness, and 2.62g in weight. This is an incomplete composite strap end of Medieval date. It finds parallels in examples published from Norwich (Margeson, 1993: nos. 233-234) and is of probable 14th century AD date if not slightly later. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
