Description: | Medieval strap end; cast copper alloy strap end formed of two sheets with a spacer at the top end, probably of 14th century date. The strap end has a straight-sided plate with curved ??shoulders?? leading to a narrow neck which expands to a tri-lobed ??fleur?? shaped terminal. The strap end has a central spacer plate with a thin sheet of copper alloy forming both the front and back plates and extending beyond the spacer. There are some organic remains, probably leather, between the two sheets, held in place with a single rivet in the centre at the attachment end of the object.
Length 27.3mm, width 9.2mm, thickness 2.4mm, weight 2.30g
