Description: | A fragment of 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-rectangular in plan, tapering from the attachment end to the closed end. The narrow terminal is pointed with a knop at the end. There seem to be very faint remnants of some incised decoration, although it is not discernible at present. It measures 16.5mm long, 11.3mm wide, 1.5mm thick and weighs 1.07 grams.Cf. Egan and Pritchard (2002), Figs. 93 and 96, pp140-148 for similar strap ends. A 13th-14th century date is likely.
