Description: | A copper-alloy composite strap end most likely to be medieval and circa 14th century in date. It is rectangular in shape and tapers at its terminal end, it measures 45mm in length and 16.8mm in width. It consists of two outer sheets and within them there are two sheet spacers, occupying the whole width of the strap end and roughly half of its length, this is unusual and most strap ends usually have one spacer. There are two parallel copper-alloy rivets through the centre of the terminal end and another single copper-alloy rivet through the centre of the attachment end. The front face of this strap end has longitudinal border grooves and there appears to have originally been another narrow longitudinal rectangular sheet riveted to the centre of the front face as the copper-alloy is a different colour where this would have been. One of the corners of the attachment end of the back plate is missing due to an old break
