Description: | A slightly bent cast copper-alloy external sheet plate from a two- or three-piece composite medieval cast copper-alloy strap-end. The object is sub-trapezoidal in shape. It tapers gradually from a width of 10.8mm at the attachment end to 7.0mm towards the terminal, beyond which the sides curve to a (now abraded) rounded terminal. At the opposite (attachment) end there is a central circular perforation for a rivet; the rivet is missing. The corresponding rivet hole at the terminal has abraded through, as mentioned. The upper surface of the sheet plate is has an even mid/dark-green patina. The internal surface is corroded. Both ends have been bent upwards slightly in profile.
