Title: STRAP FITTING [Go to resource]
Description: A cast copper alloy composite strap fitting. The object consists of a triangular shaped plate of copper alloy, the plate tapers before looping around on itself to form a closed loop. Inside this loop a flattened circular sectioned copper alloy ring has been placed. The ring moves freely in the loop. The plate has a wide decorative terminal on the opposite end. The terminal has been shaped with two pointed lobes. Two iron rivets can be seen in a line on the plate. The metal is a light greyish-green colour and is worn and corroded. Parallels can be seen in Read, p94, Fig: 20, 14. These fittings date to the 16th century.
