Description: | A copper alloy fragment of a probable strap end, probably medieval in date (c.AD 1100 - 1500). The object has a solid globular terminal from which extends a solid collar which then splits into two rectangular plates, one of which is missing, the other being incomplete. The remaining plate is broken at the top where there appears to be an open rivet hole. The two plates probably would have been attached here by a rivet which would have held the strap in place. The metal has a dark purplish-brown patina. The object is now 19.6mm long, 6.6mm wide at the plates and 7.6mm wide at the terminal, which is 7.0mm thick. It weighs 2.95g.
