Description: | Incomplete medieval copper alloy composite tongue-shaped strap end. The rear sheet plate is complete, and ends in a simple rounded knop. About one third of the front plate including the outside edge is missing. A thick deposit of silver coloured solder on the reverse of the rear sheet suggests that the spacer occupied the full width and was very short. Near the scalloped attachment edge with a grooved round aperture are two globular headed rivets within a square area of engraved cross-hatching within a frame. Length 22.5mm. Width 9.5mm. Length of missing spacer as evidenced by the solder 9mm. 14th century.
