Description: | Medieval composite strap-end made from copper alloy, with two copper-alloy rivets still in situ. Both are set centrally, one near to the open end and one close to the terminal. The main part of the strap-end is sub-rectangular, made from a thick cast spacer with a rounded knop terminal extending from the rounded closed end of the strap-end; there is a collar around the base of the knop. The front reverse have thin undecorated copper-alloy sheets fixed to the spacer by the rivets. There is some corrosion and some pitting of the original surface, which is mid greyish-green in colour.Composite strap-ends date to the 14th century.
