Description: | Fragment of a Medieval composite tongue-shaped strap-end of copper alloy. Only the front plate remains; the knop is broken and the backplate and spacer are missing. One corner of the attachment edge is missing. The breaks are old. The front of the object is covered in a green patina, the reverse is not covered in a patina and has some remains of solder.The strap-end has a concave attachment edge with a round aperture. From the aperture is a 6mm long groove, now split, parallel to the length of the object. At the attachment end are two rivet holes, each containing a rivet. The strap-end tappers slightly, from 12mm to 9mm over its 39mm (incomplete) length. It possibly had either a flat lozenge shaped knop (as in Egan and Pritchard (1991) object 664) or a trefoil knop (Egan and Pritchard (1991) 671).The strap-end weighs 1.71g.It dates from 1250-1450.
