Description: | A cast copper alloy composite strap end with forked spacer. The strap end comprises two slightly tapering plates of copper alloy, with the forked spacer between the two. The attachment end still contains a single copper alloy rivet. The opposite terminal tapers to a collar before terminating with a pointed oval knop. No decoration can be seen on the surface of the strap end. The metal surface has a mid greyish-green patina and is worn. The find dates to the medieval period. Similar strap ends can be seen in Egan, p144, Fig: 94.
