Button and loop fastener or strap terminal Fragment of a cast copper-alloy button and loop fastener or strap terminal. This object comprises only a small fragment of the 'button' section, which would have been an open circle or oval. The flat front face is decorated with circular indentations, which may have been enamelled. Parallels: This fastener does not fit into Wild's (1970) typology. It is closely paralleled by a piece from the related 1843 hoard (M. 33, Spratling's (2011) style group V), and find no. 12 from the 2011 assemblage. Measurements: Length: 17.5mm; width: 7.6mm; thic…
