MEDIEVAL STRAP END
1300
Sheet copper-alloy two-piece strap-end. Rectangular plates with squared-off upper edge, straight sides tapering in to terminal. The terminal has a triangular notch at either side, before tapering in to a missing point, which may have had a further moulding. Secured by one copper-alloy rivet at the top. The upper surface is decorated in rocker-arm engraving, with an 'X' (beginning in the top corners) and with a vertical line extending from where the two arms of the cross intersect. Smooth, dark green patina.
