Description: | A copper-alloy strap-end of Medieval date. This form of strap-end probably dates from the mid 13th to mid 15th century and may have been used in conjunction with a folding strap clasp (see Egan and Pritchard 1991: 116).The largest part of the artefact consist of rectangular plate which adjoins a sub-circular one. Attached to the rectangular portion of the plate is a half cylinder of roughly equal length. These two elements are held loosely together by a copper-alloy rivet with a sub-rectangular 'stop' at the base. A second such rivet and stop is located towards the bottom of the circular portion of the plate.The artefact measures 14.4mm long, 11.2mm wide and 4.6mm thick. The weight is 1.22g.
