Description: | An incomplete medieval or post-medieval (c.1200-1800) copper alloy strap-end, formed of a single strip of sheet copper alloy (0.6mm thick) folded transversely at the middle with three holes along its length (one of which retains a copper alloy rivet). The two empty rivet holes are c.3mm in diameter and are cleanly cut, while the third has a rivet 2.1mm in diameter through it and the metal around the rivet hole to one side is jagged where the hole has been pushed through. This is close to the open end, which to one face has a a corner missing. This has broken along a grooved line of decoration, from which widening grooves extend at 90 degrees to the open end to give a crenellated edge (where it survives).The strap-end measures 32.8mm in length, 13.5mm in width, 3.0mm in thickness and weighs 3.54g.
