Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Medieval composite strap end, c. 13th-early 15th century AD. Only one plate survives intact; the spacer and opposite plate now missing due to old breaks. The surviving plate is flat and tongue shaped in form with rounded corners; at the top there is a single circular rivet hole in the centre, which was used to secure the strap. The artefact has a mid-green patina with an area at the bottom of a light green corrosion product, particularly on the internal surface. The strap end measures 27.34mm in length, 13.71mm wide at the top and 0.73mm thick; it weighs 1.2 grams. Egan (2007: 135) illustrates a very similar although decorated example, no.1584, probably of 13th to early 15th century date
