Description: | Double sheet copper-alloy strap end in the form of a shield in plan and with a side strip in profile. There are two rivet holes, one at the terminal knopped end and the other at the open end where the strap fitted in, which is decorated with a trefoil edge. The two copper-alloy rivets remain intact and the remains of the internal leather strap can still be seen between the two sheets of copper alloy that make up the strap end. Read (1995) illustrates a similar example on page 65, no.339, which he dates to the 14th century.
