Description: | Medieval strap end of 13th century date. There are two sub-rectangular plates with a sub-circular feature before the sub-rectangular terminal. The upper surface of this terminal is decorated with incised lines. The two plates are held together by copper alloy rivets, one positioned at the centre of the sub-rectangular terminal, and another at the end of the two plates. There are possibly a further three rivet holes positioned on the sub-circular area, arranged in a triangular pattern. However, these three holes are only apparent on the upper plate, so could be some form of decorative feature, rather than rivet holes. Although complete, the strap end is in poor condition, with a significant amount of pitting and some flaking. It is 42.11mm long, 13.07mm wide and 3.32mm thick.
