Description: | A copper alloy strap end of Medieval date. It is formed from two plates and a sheet spacer occupying half the length. The closed end of the strap end terminates in a rounded knop; this knop is attached to the spacer, the two plates are attached to the spacer by a circular rivet. The opposite end of the strap end terminates in an old break which has removed half a circular rivet hole which is now empty. The plates do not appear to be decorated. Strap ends of similar construction in Egan and Pritchard suggest a date of AD 1270 - 1400.L x 40.3mm, W x 10.4mm, Th x 4.1mm, 6.67 grams.
