Description: | A cast copper alloy unidentified object with traces of gilding. This object consists of a straight piece of cast copper alloy, 37.42mm by 8.45mm, which is triangular in section, the reverse of which is concave. One end is rounded with a terminal knop projection. The rounded end has a circular aperture (in the centre), diameter 3.52mm. Below this is a moulded, curved x, with the voids indented. A moulded line runs down the centre from the x to a moulded transverse ridge at the opposite end, below which a flattened semicircular terminal extends. This is 22.28mm by 8.59mm wide. The longest edge is thin and broken, and notched at the centre. The metal of this object is mid reddish-brown with areas of greyish-green. Small areas of gilding remain. This object could possibly be a book fitting or a strap fitting, from the medieval to post-medieval period.
