Description: | A complete copper alloy medieval strap end. It is trapezoidal in shape with a biconcave end. There is an in situ copper alloy rivet at each end. It survives in good condition.It is similar in form to several examples from excavations in London (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 147, fig.96, no.694-701). However, all of these have small sheet spacers in the centre, a feature that does not appear on the present example. Egan and Pritchard (ibid. 24, fig.12) date most types of strap end to c.AD 1270-1450.Length: 23.73mm, width: 13.61mm, thickness: 2.68mm, weight: 2.41g
