Description: | A copper alloy Medieval strap end formed from two sheet plates, riveted together by a single rivet at each end. The strap end is sub-reactngular in plan, tapering from the attachment end to the closed end. The narrow terminal is pointed with a knop at the terminal. The strap end is made up of two copper alloy sheets. 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 dark green patina.In Egan and Pritchard (Egan and Pritchard 2002 Dress Accessories Boydell Press) there are similar strap ends, especially number 662 (but not in construction) and those on page 147 (again, not the same construction). Compare also WAW-A1C976 and NLM-9E7355. A thirteenth or 14th century date is most likely.
