Description: | A cast copper alloy strap end of Medieval date.The object is sub-rectangular in plan and rectangular in cross-section with each end being incomplete and consists of two strips of sheet copper alloy. Each end of the object is open with the decorated end having a space measuring 1.15mm thick between each sheet. This would have provided space for the strap. The sheets are joined at this end by a circular copper alloy rivet which measures 2.26mm in diameter and remains in situ.The riveted end is decorated on one face with an inscribed circle-headed cross. Within each angle of the cross is an incised 'wedge'. The rear of the object is undecorated. The strap end has a smooth mid-green patina and is in good condition.
