It is missing the majority of both plates due to old breaks, now worn.It is flat and rectangular. The sheet spacer has an opposing pair of U-shaped notches cut into its outer edge which connect to a narrow rectangular bar with a trefoil terminal. In the centre of the trefoil terminal is a separate copper-alloy rivet with a flattened round head. Attached to the front and back of the spacer are the remains of separate rectangular copper-alloy plates. There are traces of white metal coating or solder on both faces of the sheet spacer.This strap end measures 27.92mm in length, 12.55mm in width, 3.07mm in thickness, 2.35g in weight.There are similar examples from Norwich (Margeson, 1993, p.35, no. 232).
