Description: | A Medieval (1230 - 1400) copper alloy rectangular strap loop with internal projections. The frame is trapezoidal in plan and square in cross-section, apart from the long outer edge which is rectangular in cross-section and decorated with a small central knop on either face. The two opposed internal projections are triangular in shape and appear about two thirds of the way along the shorter sides of the frame, nearest the narrower long edge. The strap loop is 24.75mm long, with shortest internal length 18.3mm, 17.6mm wide, 2.1mm thick and weighs 2.46g. Strap loops with internal projections seem to be the earliest form, with similar examples from London illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991: 231-2) fig.149, all of which have been found in contexts dated to 1230-1400.
