Description: | A copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date. It is formed from two flat rectangular copper-alloy plates of identical size and shaped that have a decorative cross-shaped terminal. The front face of the upper plate is decorated with incised rocker decoration borders that contain an incised zig-zag motif. At the base of the strap end is a decorative terminal in the form of a floriated cross. The two plates are held together by two copper-alloy rivets with flattened round heads, one positioned at the open end and the other at the centre of the terminal. The back face is undecorated. It measures 48.25mm in length, 12.28mm in width, 1.80mm in thickness at terminal end, and weighs 6g.This strap end is similar to examples with cross-shaped terminals noted from sites like Norwich (Margeson, 1993: nos. 232-234). It is of Medieval date, probably belonging in the 14th-15th centuries AD.
