Description: | A Medieval copper-alloy composite strap-end.The strap-end is formed of two equal-sized plates, separated at the base by a spacer. The horizontal top side of each plate is slightly concave, the long sides are straight and gradually converge towards the base, where they angle inwards more sharply, terminating in a central pointed projection. There are three in situ copper-alloy rivets, aligned longitudinally. The lower two rivets serve to hold the two sides of the plate together; the upper rivet, located just below the top side, also serves this function and would also have secured the now-missing strap. The spacer occupies the lower two thirds of the strap-end, while the upper third has become bent. The outer surfaces of both plates retain some of their original white-metal coatings. The artefact measures 37.4mm long, 10.1mm wide, 1.9mm thick and weighs 4.3g.
