Description: | Cast, copper alloy terminal of a medieval strap-end. The terminal is an elaborate cross or fleur de lis shape which narrows then widens out into a flat rectangular undecorated plate. The strap-end is made up of two plates of sheet copper alloy held together with a single copper alloy rivet; one of these plates is broken off just above the terminal. The strap-end may have had a spacer with soldered back and front plates, or may have just been two single plates riveted together. The strap-end measures 36.7mm in length, 14.9mm in width and 3.7mm in thickness, and weighs 4.55g.
