Description: | Copper-alloy double sheet strap end, held together with two rivets. The strap end is 46 mm in length and 20 mm wide. It is sub-rectangular, terminating with two edges meeting to form a triangular point. This was once adorned with a knop, although this is now broken and missing. The two rivets are at the rear end of the strap end and in between them is a sub-ciruclar hole (4 mm in diameter) through both of the objects plates. The obverse of the two plates is decorated with a pattern of large lozenges formed by etched lines. The reverse of the object is worn but undecorated. The strap end is medieval in date, although it has not been possible to find a direct parallel.
