Description: | Two copper alloy plates from a Medieval (1250-1450) composite strap end, buckle or folding strap clasp. Both plates are rectangular in shape and each has an incurved attachment end with a central round, grooved aperture. Either side of this aperture the plates are held together by two copper alloy rivets. The plates would have sandwiched a forked spacer, however it is unclear whether this would have formed a strap end or whether the spacer would have been integral to a buckle or clasp frame.The plates are each 27.7mm long, 16.8mm wide and 0.7mm thick. Together they are c.4mm thick and weigh 4.5g.A very similar pair of plates are illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991) as part of a composite folding strap clasp, p.119, fig.78.
