Description: | A copper-alloy plate from a medieval composite strap-end.The plate is in the shape of a parallelogram and has two in situ copper-alloy rivets, located at the top right- and left-hand corners respectively. There is a further perforation to the right of the left-hand rivet, which may be a casting flaw, and the underside of the plate is coated with a white metal solder.Length: 30.1mm; width: 18.4mm; thickness of plate: 1.2mm. Weight: 2.9g.Evidence from excavations in London suggests that such strap-ends date from the late 13th to early 15th centuries (Egan and Pritchard 1991: 140-146).
