Description: | Incomplete composite strap-end of Medieval date, probably AD 1350 - AD 1450. Length 23.5mm, width 15mm and 2mm thick. Weight 2.81g.Viewing either sheet plate in plan, it has two notches at the attachment end where it is 15mm in width. The two notches produce a W-shaped profile. The sides of the plate taper inwards slightly and near the terminal the width is about 12mm. The terminal is in the form of a small blunt point. Along the longitudinal centre line of the plate are two copper alloy rivets, the heads of which are about 2mm in diameter. One rivet is close to the attachment end and the other rivet is close to the blunt point. Between the plates is a very thin forked spacer secured by the lower rivet. A small portion of the upper side of the attachment end of one of the plates and the corresponding tip of the spacer are broken and missing. The breaks appear to be old. The surface of one plate has a dark green patina. There is very little patina surviving on the other plate.
