Description: | A cast copper alloy sword strap fitting. The object is decoratively moulded in relief on the obverse with facing scrolls enclosing a floral motif at the centre. Above this are three lobed terminals, the central one is pointed. Below the central motif, the object extends to form a central enlarged leaf-shaped terminal between two smaller rounded knops. The reverse is undecorated. There is an attachment spike at either end of the reverse, both of which have broken off, the breaks are worn. The metal is a dull greyish green colour. This fitting probably dates to the 16th century.
