STRAP END

Unique ID: YORYM-2A3937

A fragment of a cast copper alloy strap end. The terminal has four steps on the front surface, each raising in height. The surviving piece is roughly rectangular, but tapers to the terminal proper. The strap end is broken after the fourth step, there is a notch in the copper alloy. The steps are themselves also decorated with incised lines, at a diagonal, pointing inwards, and there are vertical incised lines down the front of the steps. The reverse is flat and undecorated. The breaks are worn and the metal is a mid brownish-green colour.
