Description: | An incomplete Medieval copper alloy strap end with remnants of a fabric strap dating from about 1400-1500. The strap end is sub rectangular in plan and consists of two sheets of metal tapering to a lozenge-shaped terminal at one end, where they are held together by a copper alloy rivet; there is also a single rivet at the opposite end and both lay flush with the surface. One plate has broken revealing the end of the rivet and the mineralised fabric inside. The fabric has many loose fibres and may be woven wool. The strap end is smooth and has a dark green patina. Please see Meols, page 135 for similarly constructed strap ends.Length: 22.7mm; Width: 13.4mm; Thickness: 3.6mm; Weight: 2.43g
