Description: | Copper alloy medieval strap end with forked spacer and front and back plates. The strap end measures 26.88 x 6.67mm with a thickness of 2.59mm; weight 1.59grams. There are traces of a woven cloth still caught between the plates. As seen amongst other small strap ends of this type the spacer has a simple knop terminal and the sides are only 5.0mm long so do not reach the attchment end (Egan and Pritchard (1991) page 145). The attachment end of both plates are missing from old breaks but the plates are still attached to the spacer, probably by solder. Egan and Pritchared (1991) page 145-6 suggest these date to the 14th century and their numbers 676, 677 and 680 are similar to this example.
