Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap fitting of Medieval date. It has an oval frame that is D-shaped in section, with offset and narrowed rectangular bar. Hinging around the bar is a separately cast rectangular bar mount with integral loop that folds backwards onto the back face of the mount, the two held together by a central cylindrical copper-alloy rivet. The entire object measures 21.17mm in length (11.88mm at frame only), 12.08mm in width (at frame, 4.37mm at mount), 2.35mm in thickness, and 1.31g in weight. This is a copper-alloy strap fitting or mount with a near identical parallel noted from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: no. 1191). This indicates a c.14th century AD date for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
