Description: | An incomplete copper alloy medieval strap end plate dating to AD1350-1400. The plate is part of a composite piece. It is rectangular with a curved terminal and small knop. The opposite end has two pointed projections and a central circular cut out. There are two rivet holes, one at each end of the strap end arranged along the mid line. There is a zigzag pattern running down the centre of the upper surface, gilding survives along this zig zag decoration. No rivets remain.The parallels from Egan (1991:140-146) are dated to the late 14th century. This example does not exactly match the design of any in Egan but the style of manufacture and composition is the same.Dimensions: length: 35.95 mm; width: 8.19 mm; thickness: 1.32 mm; weight: 1.71g.
