The strap end has a patchy green patina and has been bent in the plough soil just before the trefoil. It measures 34.96mm long x 16.42mm wide x 1.20mm thick.Also see KENT-2D1C44, LEIC-B40247, LEIC-133E33, NLM-962455 and NMS-D70983.Compare number 652 on page 141 of Egan and Pritchard's Dress Accessories. This and other circular forms date from the late 13th and 14th century.
