Description: | A incomplete copper-alloy hollow ended strap end. This strap end has been cast in one piece. It has a hollow square shaped attachment end decorated on its front face with an etched letter 'N' or 'M', perhaps for 'MARIA'. Between the stems of the letter is an incised zig-zagged line. Beyond the hollow attachment end there is an narrower rectangular plate in the centre of which is is a circular rivet hole. The back face of this strap end is smooth and undecorated. This type of strap end is dated from the end of the 14th century and remained popular through out the 15th century (Geake 2001, 32).
