Description: | A complete copper alloy medieval probable strap end. It consists of a long rectangular piece of sheet metal folded in two, leaving a gap at the fold. It is secured together with five rivets, one at each corner and one in the centre. Four of these remain in situ, but one of the outer ones is now missing. It survives in fairly good condition.Egan and Pritchard (1993, 158) suggest that although the absence of a pin slot at the fold suggests that these objects were used as strap ends rather than buckle plates, they may have been produced as part of the same mass-production process. Those illustrated by Egan and Pritchard (ibid., 159, fig.104) from excavations in London all come from contexts dated c.AD 1270-1450.Length: 25.57mm, width: 16.35mm, thickness: 6.12mm, weight: 4.29g
