Description: | An unidentified copper alloy object, probably Medieval in date. It resembles a strap-end from the period. It is a rectangular cast plate to which is riveted a sheet plate. However at the attachment end is a disc of copper alloy sheet at right angles to the plate. This makes it difficult, if not impossible to attach to the strap. The disc is decorated with a small cone topped with a spherical knop of the face away from the plate. The function of this object is unknown, but the patina and the style suggest a medieval date. It measures 29.9mm x 11.1mm x 11.5mm, and weighs 4.75g.
