Description: | Copper-alloy artefact, probably part of a medieval composite strap end. The object is crescent shaped, although the shape is distorted somewhat now. There is a rectangular lug on the exterior curve of the crescent. The crescent shaped spacer would probably once have been covered with circular front and back plates. Similar examples of strap ends can be seen in Egan and Pritchard (1991, page 140-141; figures 648-651). These strap ends have been found in contexts dating from 1270 to 1400.
