Description: | The object is a Medieval strap end, made from cast copper alloy. In Egan and Pritchard there are similar strap ends, particularly No. 660 which date to the late 13th to mid 15th centuries. The strap end is a sub-rectangle in plan, however one end is pointed, and the opposite terminal is a 'W' shape. The strap end is made up of two copper alloy sheets divided by a copper alloy spacer. The two sheets are held together by a copper alloy rivet at either terminal. The strap end is undecorated. In length the strap end is 25.8mm, 14.8mm wide and 3.1mm thick. It weighs 3.33g. The surface of the strap end has traces of a mid green patina.
