Description: | A cast copper alloy medieval composite strap end with openwork decoration, and sheet spacers occupying the whole width.The strap end has a front and back plate and a sheet spacer, terminating with an acorn knop. The front plate is decorated with engraved floral and geometric designs. There is an openwork panel in the centre of the front plate, with a trefoil arch; the spacer also has the same open work panel. At the open end there are two rivet holes, containing two copper alloy rivets. The back plate is undecorated. The metal is a dark olive-green. This strap end is similar to examples in Egan & Pritchard (1991), p148-9. Egan & Pritchard date them to the late 14th - early 15th century from examples that have been found alongside pottery of the same date.
