Description: | An incomplete sheet copper alloy buckle plate or strap end, of Medieval dating (AD 1150 to AD 1500).The strap fitting consists of two sub rectangular pieces of sheet copper alloy, held together with one circular sectioned rivet. The front sheet has been decorated with two stamped ring and dot designs, with diagonal rocker arm decoration placed around it. The back sheet is plain and undecorated. Mineralised textile remains is present between the two copper alloy sheets.The strap fitting measures 25.84 mm in length, 14.40 mm wide and 4.56 mm thick. Each sheet of copper alloy metal is 0.7 mm thick. It weighs 2.9 g.The strap fitting is a mid to dark green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in damage occurring to the edges of the two copper alloy sheets. As such it is hard to determine whether it was originally a strap end or a buckle plate.
