Description: | A cast copepr-alloy strap end of Medieval date. It is formed from two rectangular plates of equal size, both of which have triangular terminal ends with a small projecting knop. At the split attachment end is a single central copper-alloy rivet with flattened circular heads. On the front face of one plate there is incised decoration comprising a double transverse groove mid way down the plate, above which appears to be a very worn cross saltire(?) motif formed from diagonal bands of rocker decoration. The entire object measures 38.06mm in length, 8.41mm in width, 4.93mm in thickness (atattachment end, 1.82mm at terminal), and 3.62g in weight. This strap end is of Medieval date, c.14th century AD (cf. Margeson, 1993: no. 231). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
