Description: | A plate from a copper alloy Medieval strap end dating from 1270 - 1450 AD. The plate is tongue shaped with a scalloped attachment edge and round grooved aperture flanked by a copper alloy rivet with a flat head on each side. The closed end is pointed and has a projecting pointed tip. The reverse shows a scar where the forked spacer was soldered. The metal is grey green and probably has a high tin content. Compare number 653 and 654 on page 142 of Egan and Pritchard's Dress Accessories.
