Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy probable strap distributor of Medieval or Post Medieval date, c. 13th-17th centuries AD. The remains of the object consist of one of two original sub-rectangular terminals with an off-centre sub-rectangular aperture, followed by a rectangular bar which is D-shaped in cross-section. Attached to the rectangular bar is an expanded central bar with two raised transverse ridges and further unclear elements near to the break. Unusually, this expanded bar has an off-centre circular hole punched through from the front surface. The rest of the object is missing. The metal has an overall greenish-red colour suggesting that it may be a Post Medieval version of a well-known Medieval object type. It measures 39.3 mm long, 14.2 mm wide (at terminal), 6.2 mm wide (at broken end), 3.8 mm thick (at terminal), 3.4 mm thick (at broken end) and weighs 7.42 grams.Cf. Read 2001, p. 50, no.478.
