Description: | Copper alloy Strap End. A pair of sub-rectangular plates, of thickness 1.3mm and 0.8mm, with long and slightly tapered projecting lugs. The lugs are held together by a strip of copper alloy sheet folded around their mid points. A drilled hole of diameter 1.5mm is set towards the back of the plates, suggesting a rivet attached the plates to a strap. The plates both bear slightly angled file marks smoothed by wear. The method of attachment suggests a medieval rather than a later date, though the form does not appear amongst high medieval finds from London. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1400-1500.Length: 37.2mm, Width: 14.9mm, Thickness (overall): 2.2mm, Weight: 3.76gms.
