Description: | A worn copper alloy probable strap fitting. Consisting of a roughly lozenge shaped plate which measures 26mm in lenght and 21.5mm in width. The front face is slightly convex and smooth and on the back face there are two incomplete and worn parallel projecting bars, near to either end of the lozenge. In between these projecting bars there is a triangular sheet of copper-alloy. This may have originally have been part of continuation of the bars therefore forming a loop, which would have allowed this object to be attached to a strap. Alternatively it could be part of another object which has become attached due to corrosion processes, due to the build up of corrosion on the back face of the object it is not clear. The date of this object is unknown but it could concievably date from the Roman period onwards.
