Description: | A complete cast copper alloy strap end of medieval date. The strap end is a composite piece which is sub-rectangular in plan, tapering towards a closed curved terminal. No forked spacer can be seen within the outer sheets of metal due to organic material compacted within the space. There is a single rivet present at the open end and one in the centre of the curved end both of which can be seen on both sides of the strap end. The object is undecorated.The metal has a mid brownish-green patina and is slightly worn. The strap end is 30.7mm long, 11.7mm wide, 4mm thick and weighs 4.1g.Similar examples can be seen in Egan & Pritchard, p.142, fig.93.
