Description: | Medieval composite copper alloy strap end with sheet spacer. The strap end is formed of two sheets of copper alloy, rectangular with a straight end at the attachment end and a sharp point at the terminal end formed of two concave curves. There are seperate copper alloy rivets in the centre near the terminal and the attachment end. Between the front and back plates is a sheet copper alloy spacer occupying the full width and about a third of the lengh held in place by the rivet at the terminal. The attachement end has slight damage to the corners. It measures 16.3mm in length, 9.7mm wide and is 2.3mm thick. It weighs 0.71 grams. Egan and Pritchard (1991) illustrate a range composite strap ends with sheet spaces on page 147. No.694 is probably most similar in plate form although the terminal of this example comes to a more definite point. Egan and Pritchard (ibid:148) suggest this is a short lived form dating to the 14th century.
