Description: | Half of a copper-alloy strap fitting. This fitting is U-shaped and measures 31mm in length and 14mm in width. The fitting terminates in a small central acorn-shaped knop, and its outer face has been decorated with what appears to be a foilage design, with a central stalk with curving leafs projecting from it. The wider end terminates in two scroll-like patterns either side of a central rounded knop. There are two rivets, one near to either end of the fitting. It seems that there would have been another half to this fitting which would have been riveted onto the surviving half, perhaps making it most likely that this object was a strap end, indeed its shape is similar to medieval strap ends and it is most likely to be late medieval or early post-medieval in date.
