Description: | The object is a composite strap end. The strap end is composed of two plates, a spacer, and two copper alloy rivets. The strap end is an elongated rectangle in plan, with one terminal having rounded corners. The surfaces are corroded and therefore, any possible decoration is not visible. Between the two plates there is a spacer visible in profile. There are two copper alloy rivets holding the plates and spacer together. The surface of the strap end is abraded and corroded. In length the strap end is 41.3mm, 13.32.mm wide and 3.08mm thick. It weighs 3.64g. In Egan and Pritchard (2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) there are similar strap ends, particularly Nos. 693 and 698 which date to the late 13th to mid 15th centuries.
