Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy early Medieval strap end dating from about 1330-1400. The strap end consists of two plates separated by a shorter sheet spacer with a collared knop. It has a concave edge at the open end where there is also a single rivet, the ends of which lie flush with each surface. The object appears to have a small point that has been broken off at the knop and the plates have been bent at the end of the spacer; it is undecorated and has a medium-dark green patina with traces of a white metal coating. This strap end is similar to examples from London, found in 14th Century deposits (Egan & Pritchard's, Dress Accessories, page 144, numbers 676 and 677). See also PAS record ID: NCL-1DD217 and BH-2434B2.Length: 39.8mm; Width: 5.6mm; Thickness: 6.8mm; Weight: 2.23g
