Description: | Copper-alloy strap-end of Thomas's type E, decorated with a longitudinal central ridge. The split end is fragmentary, but seems to have had two nicks cut into it forming three rounded lobes. The two outer lobes each retain an iron rivet. The split is quite short, and below this the strap-end has straight sides which taper very slightly to a rounded end. There is no decoration apart from the low wide rounded longitudinal ridge, which starts just below the rivets and runs right down to the end. It also tapers, from 3 mm wide at the top to 2 mm wide at the bottom. The edges of the strap-end are a bit battered and the split end on the reverse shows signs of stress to the metal - there are many cracks and the surface is partly missing.
