Description: | Incomplete unidentified copper alloy object, possibly a Post-medieval belt fitting. Length 56mm, width 16mm and 4mm thick. Weight 12.69g. The breaks are old.The object is symmetrical in plan and flat at the front and the back. It is composed of three distinct integral elements and appears to be made of three layers of sheet copper alloy soldered together. One element, possibly a terminal, is bi-lobed in shape and has a broken hook at the extreme end. There are two holes, possibly to take rivets. Each hole is about 2mm in diameter. An adjoining lozenge-shaped element has a protruding ridge at each end on both sides. A third element which is damaged and incomplete may have facilitated attachment to a strap or belt. The object is decorated with ?incised oblique lines on both surfaces. On both surfaces the lozenge-shaped element is divided into four further lozenge shapes by similar incised lines as those on the remaining part of the object. There are also oblique incised lines within each of these lozenge shapes. Both surfaces of the object have the remains of japanning.
