Title
KENT-E5AED2: medieval strap end
Description
English: A Medieval copper alloy composite strap end formed from two sheet plates with a spacer plate between, riveted together by a single rivet at each end. The strap end is sub-rectangular in plan, tapering from the attachment end to the closed end. The narrow terminal is pointed with a knop at the terminal. The strap end is undecorated. There appears to be the remains of the strap still remaining between the plates, possibly fiber of leather remaining.



In Egan and Pritchard (Egan and Pritchard 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) there are similar strap ends, on page 147 Compare also WAW-A1C976 and NLM-9E7355. A thirteenth or 14th century date is most likely.



The strap end is 29.8mm long, 9.6mm wide, 3.4mm thick and weighs 2.64 grams.
