Description: | A cast copper alloy medieval strap end or bell clapper. The object is formed from an almost spherical ball from which a bifurcation extends. This is now broken through, where there was once a single rivet hole. It is possible that this is where the strap end joined the strap, but equally possible this break could mark the joint of the bell clapper to a leather strap inside the bell. The metal is worn and pitted. The metal is a mid greenish-brown colour.
