Description: | A corroded and incomplete medieval composite strap-end. The strap-end is sub-rectangular, with a squared off end with pointed terminal protrusion. The artefact is formed of a pair of sheets either side of a solid forked spacer. This latter is unevenly finished. One sheet survives all but intact, while only the vestiges of the other are in situ. The strap-end would have been held together by a pair of rivets, one central at the attachment end, visible on the extant sheet, the other central just above the knop. The object has a concreted, brown surface over a mid/dark-green metal, and with some small areas of lighter corrosion product. It can be dated to the later 14th century by comparison with examples illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 142; fig. 93).
