Description: | A copper-alloy strap-end, probably dating from the medieval period.The uppermost element of the flat-sectioned strap-end is a sub-rectangular portion, representing the remains of a socket. The narrower upper body projects from the underside of this socket, its base flaring into a central oval. The base of this oval extends into the lower body, which is narrower than the upper body and widens slightly at its base. An inverted-lis-shaped terminal projects downwards at the base of the strap-end.Length: 39.5mm; width: 9.mm; thickness: 3.3mm. Weight: 2.82g.No parallel could be found for this piece; however, the appearance of the metal and the general form of the strap-end, with its split socket and lis-shaped terminal, suggest a date range of the 11th to 13th century.
