Description: | A Medieval copper alloy strap end dating from the 14th century. It is a composite strap end with a sheet spacer occupying the whole width. The strap end is sub rectangular and slightly tapered. The narrower end is angled with a slight knop at the apex. The attachment end is scalloped with a central lobe flanked by two hollows. The back plate has damaged edges. There is a copper alloy rivet at each end of the strap end. Similar strap ends are described on page 146 - 148 of Dress Accessories by Egan and Pritchard and most come from 14th century deposits. The metal has a rich green patina.
