Cast cu-alloy strap-end made from two sheets of copper alloy dating from the medieval period, i.e. c. 14th century. The strap-end is c. 11mm wide at the attachment end, where there is a single separate copper-alloy rivet. It then tapers very slightly to 10mm wide just before the terminal; here there is a second similar rivet, and then a transversely set lozengiform terminal. The surface of the strap end is very worn and it is uncertain what kind, if any, decoration it may have displayed.
