Description: | An incomplete and bent Medieval (1250-1450) copper alloy sheet plate from a composite strap end. The plate is sub-rectangular, having straight long edges, a broken attachment edge and an outwardly curving far edge with a small projecting knop at the centre. The plate has been broken at an angle, although the edge is straight, and is probably missing an attachment end with one or more rivet holes. The upper surface is undecorated while the reverse shows evidence of soldering, suggesting this was the method by which it was attached to a forked spacer. The rounded end of the plate points to its use as a strap end rather than a buckle plate.The sheet plate is 21.4mm long, 12.9mm wide, 0.7mm thick and weighs 0.78g.
