Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy strap-end of probable Late Medieval date.The lower portion of the strap-end consists of an open-ended cuboid of thin section, into which the now-missing strap would have fitted. The upper surface of this portion bears traces of an incised letter, there is a central rivet and damage to the back plate. Only a remnant of the upper portion survives, the nature of the intact element suggesting it may have consisted of an openwork frame.The artefact measures 28.3mm long, 17.6mm wide and 5.4mm thick. The weight is 8.5g.Hollow-ended strap-ends are thought to date from the late 14th to late 15th/early 16th centuries (Geake 2001: 32).
