Description: | Early Medieval/Medieval copper alloy strap end, 23mm long, 8mm wide and 3mm thick. It is in fair condition with iron staining creating a brown patina and weighs 2.88grams. The object is sub-rectangular in section and form and appears to be poorly cast or bent? Its upper surface appears to have two semi-circular lobes protruding from its reverse, suggesting fixing points? Below this it has a recess and a rounded collar before flattening out to form a slightly bowed plate. This is decorated with incised lines arranged as a diagonal cross with three straight horizontal lines forming a border and a central divider. Below this the object appears to be broken. It is probably a strap end or a terminal .
