Description: | Cast copper-alloy one-piece strap-end. Sub-rectangular with trefoil top, which extends out to moulded shoulders with holes at either side. The lower terminal has three evenly-spaced rounded knops. The reverse follows the shape of the upper plate, but is waisted at the shoulders and has a pointed end. There is a copper-alloy rivet through the centre of the trefoil top, and it is possible that the two holes were used for rivets (although the back-plate is waisted at this point and there would be no backing for the rivets). The upper surface has faint incised decoration consisting of small circular stamps around the trefoil top, and scrolls on the main panel within a linear border. Slightly patchy dark green patina.
