Description: | A copper-alloy medieval circa 14th century complete composite strap end. Formed of two outer plates with spacer within them, most likely to be a forked spacer, there is also a fragment of canvas above this at the attachment end. Rectangular in shape measuring 59.58mm in length and 13.69mm in width. The spacer has a lozenge shaped three dimensional knob which projects from the tapering terminal end of the strap end from between the outer plates, this solid knob is consistant with a forked rather than a sheet spacer. There are two parallel copper-alloy rivets through either corner of the attachment end. The front face is decorated with two pairs of longitudinal grooves within which there is crude writing, this appears to say AVE MARI//I[ ]V[ ]LEA the lettering has Roman A but lombardic M.
