Description: | The outer copper-alloy plate from a medieval circa 14th century composite strap end, which originally would have conisited of two outer plates and a sheet spacer occupying the whole width of the strap end. The surviving outer sheet is bent and worn and is rectangular in shape tapering to a point at the terminal end. It measures 46.9mm in length and 21.5mm in width. The attachement end has a circular notch in its centre and there is a rivet hole to either side of this, in the corners, and one copper-alloy rivet remains in situ. The front face of the plate is decorated with incised rocker decoration. The back face has traces of a silvery white coloured solder which would have held the sheet spacer in place originally.
