Description: | Cast copper alloy strap end made of a single strip folded widthways at the end. In shape it is a simple rectangule with rounded corners, some of the rounding may be from wear. There is a single rivet which appears to be cast integrally with the front and then roughly hammered flat after going through the strap and a hole in the back plate. The strap end is highly corroded and the original surface, with any decoration, is mostly lost. While strap ends made of a piece folded widthways are known from the Medieval period the use of an integral, crude rivet is unusual. It is similar to SUSS-B7CF78 for which a Romanesque date from the 12th or early 13th centurys was suggested. It is 28.0mm long, 14.0mm wide, 6.4mm thick and weighs 6.8 grams.
