Description: | Cast cu-alloy strap end dating from the medieval period, i.e. c. AD1250-1400. The strap end is in excellent condition and hardly shows any sign of corrosion or decay at all. The wider end is a split end with a short rivet still in place - this would have held the strap end in place at the end of a leather strap or belt. At the very end on the upper half of the split end are two small 'star' or 'fleur-de-lis' punch marks, probably part of the decoration. The obverse also bears some more moulded decoration and terminates in a small, oval acorn.
