Title
Early-medieval or medieval strap-end
Description
English: Strap-end made from two long sheets of copper alloy, presumably hammered and/or soldered together. The long edges are largely straight but taper at one end to a rounded terminal. The other end is broken across two circular rivet holes. There is no decoration surviving on either sheet, but both have lost much of their surface and the strap-end may originally have been decorated.

There is very little evidence to go on to suggest a date. Similar strap-ends are known from early Anglo-Saxon to medieval contexts, but the presence of two rivets rather than a single central one may argue for an earlier rather than later date.
