Description: | Copper alloy strap end formed of two pieces of copper alloy sheet held together at the terminal by a single copper alloy rivet. The strap end is rectangular with rounded lower corners and a projecting triangular knop at the centre of the lower edge. It is 18.0mm long, 9.6mm wide and 2.7mm thick, one piece of sheet is 1.2mm thick, the other 0.4mm thick. It weighs 1.47 grams. There are traces of tinning on both sides. Such a plian strap end is hard to date precisely but it is similar in form to Medieval examples and may date c.1250-1500 AD.
