Description: | A copper alloy Medieval strap end. In plan the strap end is sub-lingulate in shape. The attachment end is flat with a shallow triangular notch removed close to either side. The terminal end tapers abruptly from either side towards a central protruding triangular-pointed tab. The strap end is composite in that it is comprised of two seperate plates secured by rivets positioned centrally at either end. One of the rivets still shows remains of cloth attached. A similar strap end is illustrated in Egan; Dress Accessories (2002) p142 No. 660. This is dated through ceramic association to circa 1350-1400 AD. The strap end is 24-8mm long, 16.04 wide, 2.1mm thick and weighs 2.7g.
