Description: | Medieval two-piece strap-end. Cast front plate with elaborate knop and raised sides and attachment edge around a sunken area on reverse. This area is covered by a sheet plate, in paler green surfaced alloy, secured by two rivets. The rivet next to the raised attachment edge is 2mm longer than the other one, and was thus able to accommodate the strap which had to override the raised attachment edge. A strap-end from London (Dress Accessories no. 614) does not have this odd feature. The knop (length 15mm) is of rectangular section with three ribbed mouldings and a rounded terminal. Length 37mm. Width 7mm. Thickness 3mm. Second half 14th century.
