Description: | A copper-alloy composite strap end of Medieval date. It has front and back plates of equal form, separated by a sheet copper-alloy spacer that runds three quarters of the length of the object from terminal towards the attachment end. The object has a rectangular attachment end that tapers slightly towards the terminal. This is sub-circular in form with notches on either side above and below, and a projecting transverse collar at the top where terminal and plate meet. From the base of the terminal extends a trefoil shaped knop. At the attachment end the front plate has decoration comprising a cross saltire formed from two transecting lines of rocker decoration, with single short vertical lines to either side of the cross motif. Single copper-alloy rivets with flattened heads are visible at the centre of the attachment end and terminal ends. The entire object measures 39.13mm in length, 12.52mm in width, 2.66mm in thickness, and 3.15g in weight. This strap end is of Medieval date, c.14th century AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
