STRAP END

Unique ID: LIN-9841EB

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A medieval copper alloy three-piece strap-end with integral forked spacer. The frame is oval with a pinched lip. The spacer arms project from the rear of the frame, and overall this has the shape seen on strap-ends rather than on buckles with forked spacers. Similar to Egan and Pritchard 2002: 141, fig. 652.
