Description: | A cast copper alloy Medieval strap end. The strap end is a sub-rectangle in plan which tapers slightly and one narrow terminal is pointed with a knop at the terminal. The opposite terminal is a 'W' shape. The strap end is made up of two copper alloy sheets divided by a copper alloy spacer. The two sheets are held together by a copper alloy rivet at either terminal. The strap end is undecorated. The surface of the strap end has a mid green patina. In length the strap end is 25.55mm, 16.26mm wide and 3.33mm thick. It weighs 4.6g. In Egan and Pritchard there are similar strap ends, particularly No. 660 which date to the late 13th to mid 15th centuries.
