Description: | A Medieval copper alloy strap end (c. 1150-1450). The strap end is made from two sheets of copper alloy held together with a rivet located just off-centre at the closed end. The two sheets are rectangular with a curved edge and small irregular rectangular projection at the closed end. The open end is decorated with a central cutaway circle that creates two projections. There is a copper alloy rivet located centrally on each of these projections for attachment of the strap end to the strap. The strap end is bent horizontally that distorts the overall shape; this is most likely post-depositional damage. Rough mid-green patina.
