Description: | A copper alloy complete crescentic strap end in good condition, measuring 41mm in length and 31mm in width. It is made of two parts, a cast front plate and sub-circular sheet underplate which is held on by four rivets, which remain in situ. The cast front plate has a roughly triangular shaped terminal decorated with low relief to resemble a bush or tree. The crescent shaped part which protrudes from the base of this 'tree' has engraved lines on it, perhaps representing the roots of the 'tree.' Crescentic strap ends are dated to the 15th century (Fingerlin 1971, figs 312-317).
