Description: | The cast front plate of a copper-alloy crescentic strap end, which originally would have consisted of a cast front plate and a sub-circular sheet underplate held in place with rivets and solder. It is 15th century in date. It measures 54.07mm in total length and 31.1mm in width at its widest point. The terminal is triangular in shape and decorated on its front face with open work and low relief to represent a tree. The rest of the cast front plate is crescentic in shape and engraved with lines to represent the roots of the tree. There are two almost parallel copper-alloy rivets just below the triangular terminal through the crescentic part and two more parallel rivet holes with traces of corroded iron within them through the terminals of the crescentic part.
