Description: | Cast copper alloy strap end made of a single strip folded widthways at the end. The object expands slightly from the folded end into a rounded terminal. There is a single rivet which appears to be cast integrally with the front and then roughly hammered flat after going through the strap and a hole in the back plate. The rivet hole at the rear of the object has broken. While strap ends made of a piece folded widthways are known from the Medieval period the use of an integral, crude rivet and style suggests it is of Romanesque style and dates from the 12th or early 13th centuries. The object has a light green patina.
