Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap end of probable Medieval date.The strap end is incomplete, consisting only of a socket and the base of a terminal. The socket or attachment end is sub-square in plan and rectangular in section, and still bears leather internally. While worn, some decoration is visible, including a slightly raised border, bearing two circular rivets at the open end of the socket. The panel has an incised, cross-hatched field, and a possible letter O, of hexagonal form. There is a narrow neck at the end of the socket and a fragmentary base of a terminal, consisting of a semicircular lappet to one side and the remains of openwork or grooves, which may have been a hinge-fitting of some sort.The reverse is undecorated.
