Description: | Fragment of a cast copper alloy strap end, made in three layers, a central core/spacer 1.5mm thick either side of which is layer of 0.5mm thick sheet metal. Shape generally rectangular tapering towards the lower terminal. Section flat/rectangular. The upper, bifurcated end is missing, the other end tapers to a small, 4.5mm diameter terminal on which is a small projection. A small collar separates the terminal from the body of the strap end. Condition generally good. No decoration or surface treatment. In London strap ends of this form and construction have been found in contexts dating to 1350-1400 (Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Fig. 96, No 703)
