Description: | Possible Iron age copper alloy strap fitting, 74mm long, 47mm wide and 3.5mm thick. The object is incomplete and has a brown patina. It consists of two pieces of curved metal, which when complete probably formed circles. The metal has D shaped section and is 8mm wide and 3.5mm thick. Where these two pieces join together there is a 'coffee bean' shaped motif, a domed oval with a straight line cut along the centre of its length, 10mm long. Where the two pieces curve to form circles the object has been 'braced' by a bar, 35mm long and 4mm thick, which has a hollow centre, to allow straps to run through? Above this bar are two triangular protrusions,which may be the remains of two loops. These point towards each other and have pointed outer edges with rounded inner edges and they protrude 20mm from the bar.
