Description: | A small, worn cast tin strap-end dating to the late medieval period. The artefact is sub oval in shape. In section it is rectangular with rounded corners. The object is hollow with a rectangular aperture at the attachment end; this has been distorted through old damage with the obverse face pushed fowards. There is a circular perforation through both faces at the attachment end. The reverse is plain. The obverse features a raised border which terminates in two opposing, but joined, lobes. The border delineates a central, heart-shaped recess. There is a further aperture at the base of the object. In form and construction the strap-end is similar to, although smaller than, a pair of examples illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 150-151; refs. 711, 712). These examples are dated to the first half of the fifteenth century.
