Description: | A copper alloy Medieval strap end dating from AD 1200 - 1400. The strap end is constructed from two pieces of sheet, fastened with a single rivet in the centre of each end. The rivets are very slightly magnetic and have corroded to a red brown colour. Part of the fabric strap survives trapped between the plates. It is a pale colour and appears to be woven. The strap end is a sub-rectangular, tapering from the attachment end towards the closed end, and terminating with angled ends and a slight knop at the closed end. The plates do not appear to be decorated. They have a drak grey green colour. The strap end is 24.8mm long, 12.8mm wide and 3.1mm thick. 2.16g. It is similar in construction to examples on page 132 of Egan and Pritchard which date from AD 1200 - 1400.
