Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy composite strap end of Medieval date, with a sheet spacer occupying its whole width. It is missing part of the back plate and sheet spacer due to old breaks, now worn.It is flat and rectangular. Two thirds of the way down the plate has two opposing pairs of rectangular notches cut into its sides. This connects to a semi-circular shape with a trefoil terminal. The front face is decorated with opposing lines of zig-zag rocker decoration, which form a lozenge shape where they meet. There is a separate central circular copper-alloy rivet with a flattened round head at the attachment and terminal end.This strap end measures 61.27mm in length, 12.66mm in width, 1.97mm in thickness, 6.50g in weight.There are similar examples from Norwich (Margeson, 1993, p.35, no. 232, 234). However, no direct parallels could be found.
