Description: | This copper alloy artefact probably dates to the 16th - 17th Centuries, although it is unidentifiable. The scrolling foliage decoration on the surface of the artefact is characteristic of the 16th - 17th Centuries. The artefact looks like a buckle or some sort of dress fitting. The front surface of the find has the foliage decoration on the main 'arm' of the artefact, there is also a small hole in the 'arm'. If you hold the artefact in your left hand along its length (facing forwards between your thumb and 1st finger) both terminals look like they have broken. The terminal against your thumb has broken off diagonally across the arm. On the reverse of this break a pin catch plate is still intact. On the other terminal there is a 'cable clip' type fitting, which has definitely broken. The artefact measures 62.67mm in length. The 'arm' of the artefact measures 2.35mm (thinkness).
