Unique ID: WAW-CE36F6

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Silver hinged artefact, possibly a strap-end, trapezoid shape. With gothic style cusped ornament broken-off opposite the hinges, in the middle of which is a study for holding something, presumably textile or leather, in place.

Notes:

Style suggests late 15^th, early 16^th century in date.

As such, due to its precious metal content and age, it qualifies as Treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act 1996.
