Description: | Cast copper alloy strap end made of a single strip folded widthways at the end. In shape the front is a rectangle topped by a lozenge while the back has a similar sized rectangle but the upper part is an oval which fits within the lozenge on the front. There is a single rivet which appears to be cast integrally with the front and then roughly hammered flat after going thorugh the strap and a hole in the back plate. While strap ends made of a piece folded widthways are known from the Medieval period the use of an integral, crude rivet and style suggests it is of Romanesque style and dates from the 12th or early 13th centurys.It is 31.7mm long, 14.6mm wide, 5.9mm thick and weighs 5.94 grams.
