Description: | Fragment of the lower part of a strap end terminating in a cross motif. The object was formed from three leaves of sheet copper alloy one of which is represented only by a fragment in the area of the cross-shaped terminal. One of the surviving leaves represents a spacer between the two outer leaves. This spacer is marked by a tapering transverse slot which extends halfway across its width. No sign of a rivet survives and the strapend haveing been truncated with the loss of its upper section. In London strap ends of this type were found in contexts dating from the 1350-1400 (Egan and Pritchard 1990 Fig. 96).
