Description: | Medieval (mid 13th to 15th centuries) strap-end: The strap end is a spherical knop with an integral split attachment formed of originally two parallel rectangular plates with broken terminals across a rivet hole in each plate. The surface of the strap end is heavily abraded leaving a red/brown coloured surface with traces of a dark green patina. It measures 25.08mm long, 13.49mm wide and 14.78mm thick across the bulbous portion. It weighs 6.52g.Such objects are not readily paralleled in the literature, but a number have been recorded on this database, e.g. WAW-46D195, ESS-F4D809, WAW-44BB28, HAMP-C88A50, LIN-AB6C25, and LIN-153C04. The condition and style of the plates suggest a Medieval date, perhaps mid 13th to 15th centuries.
