Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy strap end. Only the front plate of this strap end survives, it is rectangular in shape measuring 41mm in length and 29.8mm in width. The attachment end has a central trefoil-shaped aperture with a V-shaped notch to either side of this. Below each V there is an in situ copper-alloy rivet. The front plate has sides set at 90 degrees to the plane of the plate. The front face is decorated with an incised border containing rows of zigzags. Within this there are repetitive incised transverse motifs resembling letters. The terminal end has a rectangular notch cut into the centre of its side, and within this is riveted a rectangular incomplete fragment which may be part of a sheet backplate. At the attachment end of the back face the two rivets hold small fragments of canvas. This strap end is most likely to be medieval and c 14th or 15th century in date.
