Description: | Medieval copper alloy sheet strap end fragment. The piece is cut from copper alloy sheet with remains of tinning on one side. It is rectangular with one end extended into a point. The other end has a central circular cut out and a seperate rivet in one corner, the other corner is lost due to an old break. The central circular cut out was popular on the better made medieval strap fittings including strap clasps and composite strap ends with forked spacers see, for example, Egan and Pritchard (1993) p. 144 No. 673. Egan and Pritchard (page 146) suggest this form of plate helped identify the composite strap ends and mainly date from the late 13th to early 15th centurys. Measures 26.42mm x 13.09mm and 0.89mm thick; weight 1.42gms.
