Description: | A fragment of a Medieval copper-alloy Strap End or buckle plate. The artefact would have been sub-rectangular in shape with a circular perforation, open to the artefact's edge, between two rivets. This circular shape between the rivets was a decorative open work field. The circular perforation has a diameter of 4.31mm. Current dimensions: length 31.39mm, width 18.31mm, thickness 0.67mm and weight is 2.25g. The upper surface is decorated with incised lines. Across the centre, laterally, is a band formed by two parallel lines set 3.24mm apart. Between the two lines are four approximately equally spaced diagonal lines that sit parallel to each other. The fields to either side of the central band are also decorated with diagonal lines orientated in both directions. One rivet survives which has a diameter of 2.72mm on the upper suface. On the reverse the rivet has a diameter of 2.05mm and length of 2.14mm.See Egan, G. 2002, p.142-145, fig.93-94 & p.78-81, fig.47-49.
