Description: | A worn fragment of a Medieval copper-alloy strap end dating to c. AD 1250-1400. The fragment is sub-rectangular in plan and flat in section with an uneven break to one side, suggesting continuation of this object. At the complete end two small circular apertures are visible, one to each corner, to assist with attachment. Around the edges of the upper surface of the strap end is a border of small squares created through incision; the underside is plain. This artefact has a mid green corrosion surface overall, with areas of possible tinning or gilt visible in a smooth area on the upper surface. Similar examples can be found in Egan and Pritchard (1991: 159, no. 756, 769).This fragment measures 23mm in length, with a width across the fragment of 23.9mm and a thickness of 0.8mm. It weighs 1.45 grams.
