Description: | A complete copper-alloy strap end with central raised dome of medieval date. The strap end is broadly ractangular tapering from the centre of the strap end (19.3mm) to 10.85mm at the tip. The strap end has been constructed from a copper-alloy sheet which has been folded inwards upon itself (the fold is located at the tapering end). Above the fold is a circular peforation which presumably held a rivet which is now missing. To the top of the strap end are two circular perforations which hold copper-alloy rivets in situ. At the point where the strap end tapers on the front face is a circular dome with a slightly flattened top, presumibly damage, the dome is not perforated. The dome measures 11.65mm in diameter and is 3mm in height. The reverse of the strap end at hi point has a circular peforation located roughly at the centre of the dome.The strap end measures 43.15mm in length, 19.4mm wide, 4.95mm maximum thickness, 1.25mm minimum thickness. The strap end weighs 6.44 grams.
