Description: | An incomplete Medieval (1250-1450) copper alloy sheet plate from a composite strap end. The plate is sub-rectangular, having a straight attachment end edge, slightly tapering longer edges and a curved and pointed end. At the attachment end is a single hole with copper alloy rivet in situ. Both surfaces of the plate are undecorated but the reverse shows evidence of soldering, suggesting it was attached by this method to a forked spacer or separate sheet. The pointed end of the plate points to its use as a strap end rather than a buckle plate.The sheet plate is 30.5mm long, 13.8mm wide, 0.6mm thick and weighs 1.04g. The plate shares similarities with examples of composite strap ends from London illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991),in particular p.145, no.685.
