Description: | A copper-alloy strap end of medieval date, probably dating from the fourteenth century. The strap end is of composite type, created from two sheets of copper-alloy with a sheet spacer sandwiched between. The two external sheets are sub-rectangular in shape with pointed, angled ends which terminate in a knop. At the attachment end there are two notches cut either side of a projection. The plates are held together by two copper-alloy rivets, both central, with one at the top and one at the bottom. Traces of leather survive in the gap at the attachment end. The strap end measures 23.07 mm long, 14.92 mm wide, 2.93 mm thick and weighs 3.2 grams. It has a dark green patina. See Egan and Pritchard (1991, pages 146-147; Figs 696-701 for similar examples).
