Description: | A folded sheet copper alloy possible strap end. The piece is formed of a sub-rectangular strip of copper alloy bent back on itself. One side is complete and the other is broken in half with the attachment end missing. The complete side is plain and has two circular attachment holes, one near each corner of the attachment end. The other end is broken, but there is a circular rivet hole in the centre near the break. None of the rivet holes line up with marks on the other plate, suggesting that the bend may not be in its original position. Egan and Pritchard (1993:159) illustrates some similar pieces, mostly decorated and with additional rivets, which they conclude are strap ends based on the lack of cut outs for the frame and parallels on spur straps (ibid:218). Compare SOM-564945.
