STRAP END

Unique ID: WMID674

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published Find published

The lower plate is sub-circular with four rivets in each corner. The upper plate is also sub-circular, however there is an oval shaped openwork at one end, leaving a small gap on the edge. On the upper plate there is incised decoration which appears to be two leaves creating a 'V' with a fleur-de-lis at the centre base. At this base there is a further rectangular shape which the lower plate lacks. This rectangular shape is moulded with two rows of four circular indentations. Two outer indentations are openwork, but maybe too small for rivets. Between the lower and upper plate there are traces of leather.
