Description: | A three piece copper alloy composite strap end. The open attachment edge is straight. At this end are two rivets, both of which are present. The open end is wider at 14mm than the closed end at 10mm. At the closed terminal end is a knop with a single collar. It is unkown whether the spacer is forked or not. It is 49mm long and weighs 7.92g. One of the attachment edges at the open end is broken near the rivets and the object is slightly bent. Otherwise it is in good condition.It is similar to object 677, a composite strap end with a forked spacer, in Egan and Pritchard (1991), although this has only one rivet at the open end.This form of strap end became common in the late 13th/early 14th century and continues to occur in deposits until the early 15th century, but in smaller numbers. They are therefore usually considered to belong to the 14th century.
