Description: | An unusual medieval two-piece strap-end, comprising a tapering plate hollowed on the reverse to accommodate a strap and with a separate back-plate. This plate is secured by a copper alloy rivet at the attachment-end and above a solid asymmetrical terminal in the form of a folded acanthus-like leaf, with grooves engraved on both faces. See a broadly similar type, although with anthropomorphic terminal, in Dress Accessories no. 614. 14th century.
