Description: | A copper-alloy medieval strap-end with bar mount at the attachment edge (14th century AD). The strap-end is formed of a broadly rectangular sheet plate which is very slightly recessed before the terminal at which the bar mount is attached. The bar mount itself is trapezoidal in cross-section, with a narrower upper surface. It is rivetted to the plate by a pair of rivets, one at each end. The opposite end of the plate has been curled round on itself. It is uncertain whether or not the curve is deliberate or, indeed, whether the sheet is complete or has been truncated. For the object type see Egan and Pritchard (1991, 157; fig. 103), although the plate is predominately shield shaped, unlike this example. The object now has a mid/dark green patina.
