Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy strap end dating to the Medieval period, AD1300-1400. The object consists of a strip of copper alloy which is rounded at one end. The object is rectangular in cross-section. Another sheet of copper alloy would have been attached to the upper face above the rounded terminal with a copper alloy spacer in between. The object has small perforation measuring 1.5mm in diameter for attachment. The object is undecorated and has a corroded mid-brown patina.Similar strap ends, attributed to the late fourteenth century, are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard, 1991, Dress Accessories 1150-1450, page 127.
