Description: | Probably a cast copper alloy Early Medieval mount or strap end. The irregular tri-lobed plate has an integral lug at one end, which is turned ninety degrees to the plate, and is perorated off-centre. The plate is undecorated and has two holes. While no parallels come to mind for this piece, its form resembles that of a series of 11th century strap ends, which are also asymmetrical and decorated in Ringerike style. The perforated lug is also very similar. The length is 38.0mm, the width is 20.6mm, the thickness of the plate is 5.8mm and the weight is 14.60g.
