Description: | A fragment probably from a copper-alloy medieval composite strap-end. It is sub-trapezoidal in plan. The attachment end is incurved slightly. A rivet at this end joins the two sheet plates. After c. 11.2mm there is a central rectangular hole c. 4.5mm wide. On one side the object is truncated just after the openwork hole; on the other it continues as a tapering prong for a maximum of 6.85mm on one of the sheets. The upper surface of the upper sheet is decorated with engraved lines. There are longitudinal lines either side of the aperture. Above is a transverse incision, with a further transverse line above. Within the field thus created are various linear and curvilinear marks of varying lengths. The artefact now has a fairly even mid-green patina.
