Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy strap end of Medieval date. Part of one plate survives, the remainder of the object missing due to old breaks. The surviving fragment comprises a sub-rectangular plate, curving inwards towards a projecting terminal(?) and with extensive openwork decoration. This comprises a central rectangular slot at the attachment end, either side of which the plate has multiple transverse notches. At its base the rectangular slot expands to a trefoil shaped openwork moulding with single circular rivet holes to either side and a single band of rocker decoration around its lower edge. From the base of the plate extends an incomplete terminal(?) that is sub-oval in form, missingits terminal end due to old breaks, and with the remains of a central trefoil(?) openwork moulding. The entire fragment measures 21.29mm in length, 12.96mm in width, 1.40mm in thickness, and 1.04g in weight.This is an incomplete strap end of Medieval date. It shares similarities with composiute strap ends published from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 704-705), and is of probable similar 13th-14th century AD date, if not slightly later.
