Description: | Hinged strap fitting, similar to a buckle plate. It is made from a long rectangular strip of copper-alloy folded in half and secured by five copper-alloy rivets with large knobbed heads. There is a wide gap at the fold, as if for a hinge bar, and there is a faint engraved-line border. There are no frame recesses nor any provision for a pin, so it cannot be the plate for a buckle or a strap clasp. The rivets indicate that it must however be of medieval date.
