Description: | Medieval copper alloy composite strap-end with sheet spacer occupying the whole width. It measures 38.5x9mm and weighs 3.2g.The strap-end is parallel sided with two rivets, one at the opend to secure the strap, the other just below half way to secure the spacer (which is 25mm long). Between the latter rivet and the projecting end is grooved decoration in the form of an X within three grooved lines - apparantly the fourth is missing.The end is a complicated trefoil - a trefoil extending from a horizontal platform, which extends from the horizontal parallel of the end of the body of the strap-end. The platform has a grooved line running across it and the middle part of the trefoil a grooved V.Egan and Pritchard feel this type of strap-end were relatively short-lived. Examples from London date to the 14th century.
