Description: | A copper-alloy probable strap fitting. Rectangular in shape, measuring 26mm in length and 9.8mm in width. The front face of this fitting is decorated with an indented rectangular panel, 22mm in length and 6mm in width, with a row of five pointed oval-shaped motifs within it. Gilding survives within this panel. On the back face there are two parallel integral rivets, one in the centre of either end of the fitting. These rivets are cylindrical in shape measuring 4mm in length and 2.7mm in width. This strap fitting is likely to have originally functioned as a decorative belt or strap mount. It is most likely to be medieval in date.
