Description: | Copper alloy with textile strap end. Composite strap end comprising two plates of thickness c.0.8mm and a spacer plate, with a rounded and pointed or lipped outer end and engrailed at its inner end. A single rivet of diameter 1.8mm and length 3.4mm passes through the inner end. Textile, now of a pale buff colour, is here retained between the plates, suggesting the object was deposited attached to its strap. A textile strap would suggest compliance with sumptuary laws which required ordinary folk to wear belts of cloth rather than leather. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1400.Length: 32.1mm, Width: 15.5mm, Thickness (overall): 3.3mm, Weight: 5.17gms.
