Description: | A copper alloy Medieval strap end dating from about AD 1300 - 1400. The strap end is made from two sheets of copper alloy joined by a single copper alloy rivet in the centre of the attachment end. It probably had soldered strips forming the sides; only traces of these in the differential corrosion pattern survive. The closed end tapers to a point and has concave sides. The tip is damaged. Compare number 640 on page 139 of Egan and Pritchard. The strap end is 30.6mm long, 16.7mm wide and 4mm thick. 4.76g.
