Description: | Cast copper-alloy strap end. The sub-triangular terminal is fashioned to look like a tree. The circular body section has engraved lines, representing the roots of the tree, around an oval aperture. The underplate is still attached. Two rivet holes are found on the circular body and underplate. The underplate has a further two rivet holes just before the triangular 'tree' moulding, which are not found on the circular body. Viewed from the back, with the 'tree' facing upwards, the top left rivet hole still contains a rivet. See NMGW-3D3615 for a similar strap end; these are known as 'crescentic' strap ends and date to the 15th century.
