Description: | A copper-alloy hooked strap fitting, rectangular in shape and measuring 30.1mm in length and 10.9mm in width. There are two copper-alloy rivets through either end of the strap fitting, they hold a rectangular copper-alloy plate (21.5mm by 8.7mm) onto the back face. The rivet near to the hooked terminal end of this strap fitting has an open loop through its head, on the front face. The attachment end of the strap fitting has three V-shaped notches in it. There are also two longitudinal opposing boarders running down the front of the strap fitting, each consists of a straight longitudinal groove and small diagonal incisions beyond this to the edge of the front face. The hook is rectangular in shape, 5mm in surviving length and 6mm in width, it curves backwards but is incomplete due to an old break, now worn. This hooked strap fitting is most likely to be medieval in date.
