Description: | A copper alloy medieval strap slide or strap loop (AD c.1300-c.1400). Overall, the object measures 21.1mm long, 15.8mm wide and 7.2mm thick. It weighs 2.58g. The object is broadly D-shaped and comprises a small rectangular loop and a larger D-shaped loop. The outer curved edge of the larger loop is decorated with a zoomorphic moulding in the shape of a wolf or dog's head. The other parts of the frame and strap bar are rectangular in cross-section.These objects are sometimes recorded as buckles but the strap bar is the wrong shape to accommodate a pin and there are no wear marks to suggest it ever had one. Geoff Egan (in Griffiths, D. et al 2007, 96) says that no objects of this type have been discovered with pins intact.
