Description: | An incomplete Medieval (1250-1450) copper alloy sheet plate from a composite strap end. The plate is sub-rectangular, having straight long sides and a rounded and pointed terminal end. At the attachment end there are two triangular notches, one of which has caused the corner of the plate to break off, leaving one of two aligned empty rivet holes open. The remaining hole measures 2.2mm in diameter. The reverse of the plate shows traces of solder, showing how it, and a second plate, would have been attached to a forked spacer. The metal now has a dark green patina and is slightly bent. The plate is 49.15mm long, 15.8mm wide, 0.8mm thick and weighs 2.9g. Several complete examples of composite strap ends from London are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991), p.142, fig.93, with no.660 bearing most resemblance to this example.
