Description: | A complete Medieval copper-alloy strap-end (c. 1350-c. 1400). The strap end is formed of two sheet copper-alloy plates that are sub-rectangular in plan. There is no spacer between the plates. Both plates have the same thickness of about 0.4mm. The closed terminal end is rounded in plan and has a small pointed knop. At the open attachment end the width is 12.4mm. In plan, the front plate at the open (attachment) end has two 'V'-shaped notches (removals). The rear plate has a straight attachment end. Along the longitudinal centre-line are two copper-alloy rivets that are flush with the surface of the plates. The outer faces have a dark green patina. 27.0 x 12.4 x 2.9mm. Weight: 2.14g. A similar strap-end has been recorded from archaeological excavations at Billingsgate, London (Egan and Pritchard 1991: 143, ref: 660). This strap end from London has been dated c. 1350 - c. 1400.
