Description: | Complete composite strap-end of Medieval date, probably AD 1350 - AD 1450. Length 31mm, width 18mm and 3.3mm thick. Weight 6.04g. Viewing either sheet plate in plan, it has two notches at the attachment end where it is 18mm 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 14mm. 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 2.3mm in diameter. Both of the rivet heads are flush with the surfaces of each plate. 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. The surface of one plate has a dark green patina and the patina on the other plate is lighter in colour. The faces of each plate are plain and undecorated. Fragments of a creamy white textile or other material survives between the plates.
