An incomplete Medieval copper alloy strap end, probably a buckle or clasp plate, dating to c AD 1200 - 1500. These are difficult to date closely unless decorative features are extant. It consists of  a folded rectangular sheet with parallel sides, the two ends of which  would originally have met at the split attachment end but one of which now falls short, due to an early break. A loop is left at the point of the fold to take the buckle or clasp, now missing. There are five rivet holes, a pair near the edges at both ends and a central hole. The damaged end has lost …
