Description: | A complete but very worn and bent copper-alloy strap end of probable Post Medieval date. This strap end consists of two sub-rectangular and flat in section plates which separate from a single narrowed tip. The upper plate has a flattened rectangular attachment end, whilst the lower is rounded and sub-oval. The upper plate has a small circular aperture whilst the lower plate preserves the rectangular in section rivet in situ. The upper surface of the strap end is decorated with cast raised herringbone detail; the underside is flat and undecorated. The body of the strap end has been bent through previous damage about half way along the full length, so that the attachment end now rests at a 90 degree angle from the tip of the strap end. This artefact has a dark brown colour overall.The strap end measures 26.7mm in length, although the original length when unbent would be around 40mm; it measures 9.1mm in width with a thickness of 1mm, and weighs 2.67 grams.
