Description: | A bent copper-alloy top plate from a medieval Composite strap-end. Several examples of such strap-ends have been found in late 13th to early 15th century levels in London (see Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p.140-146). The plate is sub-rectangular in plan, having a decoratively cut upper edge, at the centre of which is a circular aperture. The bottom part of the plate is missing. At the top left hand corner (as you look at it), a small copper-alloy rivet sits within a hole; a second, empty, rivet hole is located at the top right hand corner.The object measures 29.2mm long, 20.1mm wide and 0.7mm thick. The weight is 2.46g.
