Description: | Unusual ?strap-end made in four parts, all of copper alloy. It follows the basic form of a composite strap-end, with two thin flat U-shaped outer plates soldered onto a spacer plate. The spacer plate is a long strip bent into a U with the outer plates soldered to its long edges. In the centre of one long edge is a trefoil or cruciform terminal. At the attachment end, each end of the spacer strip has a hole to take the fourth element, a circular-section bar. It seems that the strap was not riveted into place, but folded around the bar and presumably stitched into place. 25 x 13 mm, and 9 mm thick.
