Description: | A cast copper alloy strap end or similar strap fitting. The object is formed from a single piece of copper alloy. The main body is rectangular in section, but swollen in the centre, tapering down to either terminal. The terminal proper has a collar and a rounded knop. At the other end there is a collar and then the remains of a split joint, which would have held the leather strap. Only the back plate survives and the break is very worn. The metal is a mid brownish-green colour and it is very pitted. This strap end is likely to be post-medieval in date, as it does not fit into the earlier typologies.
