Description: | A Medieval - Post-Medieval pewter strap end (15th - 16th century). The strap end is square (without the corners) and hollow to house the leather strap and it has a loop for a pendant fitting to attach. The strap end has been cast in one piece and it has a central rivet to secure the leather strap. Fragments of the leather strap are still present. The front surface projects further than the lower surface but this may be due to damage of the lower surface. The front of the strap end has moulded decoration in the form of two horizontal grooves and a central recessed square. There is a rounded projection in the centre of the recessed square which may be the rounded heat of the rivet visible on the reverse surface. There are traces of a decorative inlay within the recessed square; Geoff Egan suggests it may be mica. The attachment loop projects from the edge opposite the open end.
