Description: | An almost complete copper alloy strap end, dating to the medieval period. The strap end comprises a long, thin rectangular plate folded at the terminal. The terminal is formed from a rectangular extension, with a rounded knop at the terminal proper. The front and back plates are flat and taper outwards to the open attachment end. This terminal is slightly damaged and the length of the strap end is bent and cracked. There is a rivet holding the open end together, but there is a large amount of corroded material hiding this. The surface is dark brownish-green and cracked. This strap end dates between AD 1150-1450. See: Egan and Pritchard, p131 for similar parallels.
