Description: | Medieval copper alloy strap slide. It is rectangular in section, measuring 17.5mm long and 21.3 wide, with the upper side being broader (7.1mm) than the lower (5.3mm). The sides are 2.3mm thick, but the upper side is 3mm thick as it is decorated with a longitudinal central d-shaped ridge, with rows of transverse raised ribs to either side. The internal face of the object has the centrally located broken stump of a rivet, which was presumably cast integrally, as it is only visible on the inner face.It weighs 4.83 grams and has a uniform green patination.This object is broadly similar to no. 1247 on p.232 of Egan & Pritchard 'Dress accessories 1150 - 1450', 2002. This is dated to the 14th century.Similar examples are recorded as PAS-74C7EC and HAMP-EA4BF1
