Description: | Copper alloy composite Medieval strap end. The strap end consists of two outer plates separated by a forked inner plate. There is a copper alloy circular rivet at the strap attachment end and a further circular rivet just above the protruding acorn-shaped terminal. The acorn end is very simple with the protruding knop and a small sub-rectangular collar. No further decoration is visible. There is a mid whitish-grey corrosion product in-between the two sheets of copper alloy which make up the strap end.In London strap ends of this form were found in contexts dating from 1270-1450 (Egan and Pritchard 1991, Figs. 93 and 94).
