Description: | Strap-end made from a single piece of copper alloy sheet folded in half. The exterior is highly polished and has traces of linear decoration, perhaps rouletted double rows of triangles. The attachment end is closed with a single copper-alloy rivet with a neat flat head at either end. One end of the sheet is neatly rectilinear, but the other is more irregular with possibly part of a very small rivet hole. The sheet is 14 mm wide and the strap-end is 11 mm long. The decoration of rouletted double triangles is characteristically medieval, and the construction with a single well-made rivet also looks to be from the same period.
