Description: | A possible strap-end. The copper-alloy artefact appears to be part of a single sheet strap end which was once folded and held together with a single rivet. One end of the artefact shows evidence of a break, and it is likely that the object broke as a result of wear on the fold. There is a curcular perforation at the terminal end, possibly for a rivet holding the two ends of the sheet together. The obverse has a border formed by two incised lines. Illustrated examples of this type of artefact are published in Egan and Pritchard (1991, page 127; figs 578 - 583). This object is probably Medieval in date, and is likely to have been manufactured between circa 1200 and 1400 AD.
