Description: | A copper alloy a strap end dating to the period AD c 1270-1450. The object is incomplete. It comprises a sub-rectangular prong which is incomplete. At the top of the prong, there is a sloping shoulder which leads to a collar topped by an acorn knop (13.21mm from collar to the top). The acorn knop may have some incised decoration (although this may be damage). The knop then leads down to a matching second shoulder which became a second prong which is also missing. The patina is light green with darker green patches underneath. Cf Egan, G and Pritchard, F, 1991, Dress Accessories c 1150-c 1450 Medieval Finds from Excavations in London, HMSO, London, p 144
