Description: | Medieval gilt copper alloy strap-end formed from a single piece of sheet folded transversely with a wide gap at the fold and secured by two convex-headed rivets. On the attachment edge there is a V-shaped notch between four concave cut-outs. Gilding survives as raised lines, only where the surface has been engraved. Decoration, confined to the front face (with reversed L-shaped break), consists of an upper band bordered by transverse lines and containing traces of missing possibly foliate decoration and a lower band of multiple transverse lines. Some greenish mineralised organic material, perhaps leather, remains within. Length 22mm. Width 31mm. 12th - 13th century.
