Description: | Incomplete Medieval copper alloy composite strap-end with sheet spacer (14th century). The strap end consists of two copper alloy sheets with two separate rivets, one to hold the sheet spacer and one to hold the strap. The sheets are both rectangular in plan, and each has a rounded end and a small projecting round terminal. In between the sheets is a sheet spacer which is riveted in place. The rivet is visible on both sides of the strap-end. The upper end of the strap end has broken off on one of the plates, although the other is intact. Here the rivet hole is visible but the rivet is missing. The exterior surfaces of the strap-end have a bright green patina. The interior is filled with concretion. The strap-end measures 31.8mm long, 13.8mm wide and weighs 2.34 grams. Egan and Pritchard (1991) illustrate a similar examples from a 14th century context, p. 147 ref. 698
