Description: | A copper-alloy composite strap-end of Medieval date. Evidence from excavations in London suggests that such strap-ends date from the late 13th to early 15th centuries (see Egan and Pritchard 1991: 140-146).The strap-end consists of two parallel plates separated by a spacer. From the decoratively cut top, the long sides taper towards an angled base with a projecting knop at the centre point. There is one rivet just below the centre of the top side and one just above the basal knop. The surfaces have a dark green patina and are corroded in places.The artefact measures 25.6mm long, 13.9mm wide and 2.7mm thick. The weight is 4.01g.
