On either face of the spacer are sheet coper-alloy plates that are rectangular in form, narrowing slightly towards the terminal end, and held together by a single central rivet at the base, and two separately cast rivets at each corner of the attachment end. On the front face of the object the plate has decoration comprising an incised circle containing five circular perforations arranged in a cross-shaped motif, the uppermost positioned at the centre of the attahmeent end and piercing both plates. The entire object measures 35.67mm in length, 17.81mm in width, 3.45mm in thickness, and 5.25g in weight.This is a complete composite strap end of Medieval date. It finds parallels in examples published from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 676-684) and is of probable c.14th century AD date. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
