Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date. It is missing the terminal knop on one plate, as well aspart of the attachment end on the opposite plate due to old breaks. The strap end is formed from rectangular front and back plates of identical form each with concave attachment end with a central circular notch. Either side of the notch are two separately cast copper-alloy rivets with flattened circular heads. Towards the base of the plates is a third, central copper-alloy rivet with flattened heads. The plates are separated by a separately cast spacer of identical form to the plates but which only reaches half way up the strap end. At its base the strap has a tapering triangular terminal with projecting trefoil shaped knop. The entire object measures 57.03mm in length, 11.39mm in width, 3.34mm in thickness, and 6.88g in weight.This is an incomplete composite strap end of Medieval date. It finds parallels in examples from London with acorn shaped terminal knops (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 671-677) and is of probable c.14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
