Description: | Sheet copper alloy two-piece strap-end, V-shaped in plan, with ogee-shaped tip, and flat in section, with two rivets, one at the edge where the leather strap would have slotted between the two plates, and the other just above the end tapering to the ogival terminal. There may have originally been side strips or a sheet spacer between the two plates, but there is now hardened sandy soil between the the plates, and to remove this would probably damage the strap-end.Egan & Pritchard (2002) illustrate a similar example on page 147, Fig.96, No.696, which is dated to c.1350-1400.Ottaway & Rogers (2002) illustrate a similar example on page 2899, Fig.1475, No.14362, which is dated from the 13th to the 14th century.
