Description: | A copper alloy strap slide dating to circa 1600-1800 AD. The strap slide comprises a heart shaped plate with an integral rectangular loop on the back. The front and back of the strap slide are both undecorated. The loop on the back is circular in cross-section with two attachment points towards the top of the heart, one in the centre of each of the lobes with the rectangular loop spanning the gap. Cf Read, B, 2001, Metal Artefacts of Antiquity Volume One, Portcullis Publishing, Huish Episcopi, Langport pp17-18 figure 11, nos 132 and 140 although both these examples have non-integral loops and are probably somewhat earlier.
