Description: | A cast copper-alloy composite strap end of Medieval date. It comprises rectangular front and back plates separated by a separately cast forked spacer, with some slight damage to the base of one plate. Each plate is flat, rectangular in form with concave attachment end that has a central semi-circular notch. To either side of the notch are single circular rivet holes retaining separately cast copper-alloy rivets with flattened circular heads. At their base the plates taper to triangular terminal ends with small projecting oval knops. The forked spacer extends three quarters of the way up the plates towards the attachment end, and has a similar triangular terminal end with projecting oval shaped knops. This strap end measures 38.33mm in length, 15.46mm in width, 4.15mm in thickness, and 8.06g in weight.This is a composite strap end of Medieval date. It finds close parallels in examples published from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 664, 670) and is of probable 13th to 14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
