Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy medieval strap end of 3 piece composite type comprising two sheets of metal with a spacer of sheeting sandwiched between them. It is rectangular in shape, with rounded corners. The thickness widens at the attachment end in order to accommodate the strap between the sheets, and these attachment edges both have a worn break. The metal is very worn and has a green-brown patina. There is no decoration. Egan and Pritchard (2002, 148) state that this type with the sheeting spacer was short lived and they seem to only date to the 14th century.The weight is 4.66g, the length is 36.24mm the width is 9.88mm and the thickness is 3.02mm. A parallel includes GLO-141362.
