Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy strap end of medieval date. The strap end is made of two sheet metal plates riveted together. The plates are rectangular in shape and appear to taper to a rounded point although there has been considerable damage to the edges. Two circular copper alloy rivets remain in place at the top edge of the strap end and there is a piece of woven cloth still present at this point between the two plates, possibly tablet woven material with a chunky cross section and criss-cross design. The back plate is plain and the front plate carries a linear design consisting of two incised pairs of vertical lines with incised haphazard zig-zags or faux lettering between. The holes for a third rivet along the midline at the foot of the strap end are also evident.This strap end has been dated c.1200-1400.
