Description: | A cast copper-alloy probable strap fitting likely to be early post medieval in date. This strap fitting is rectangular in shape, 31mm by 25mm in size. It has a transverse row of five circular rivet holes along one edge and a central integral rounded hook, which is folded backwards and parallel to the back face, at the other. On the front face there are also traces of a white metal coating. This strap fitting is likely to have been riveted to a leather belt or strap via the five rivet holes and attached to another strap or the other end of the belt via its integral hook, which could be undone and refastened easily.
