Description: | A complete cast copper alloy sub rectangular double sheet strap end, dating to the Medieval period (AD1200-1500). The strap end consists of two pieces of sheet copper alloy metal, riveted together. The strap end is sub rectangular in plan, tapering to a narrowing neck. The base of the strap end finishes in a trefoil lobed shape. Two rivets are present at the top and bottom, which would have secured the strap end onto the original strap. Both the front and back plate are scratched and worn and it is unclear whether it was decorated. The strap end has a mid to dark green colour.
