Description: | A Medieval strap end, made from sheet copper alloy. The strap end is formed of a single incomplete plate. It is a sub rectangle in plan with slightly concave sides. One terminal has an integral '+' protruding. The opposite terminal is a broken edge and has the remains on a central rivet hole along it. Both faces of the plate are undecorated. The surface of the strap end is abraded with traces of a mid green patina. In length the strap end is 27.92mm, 13.32mm wide and 1.36mm thick. It weighs 2.3g. In Egan and Pritchard (Egan G. and Pritchard F. 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) there are similar strap ends, particularly No. 605 which date to the late 13th to mid 15th centuries.
