Description: | Complete cast copper alloy strap fitting of Post Medieval, seventeenth century date (AD 1600 - AD 1700). Length 39mm, width 19mm and 5mm thick. Weight 7.79g.The mount is largely oval-shaped in plan, convex at the front and concave at the rear. It is more pointed at one end than the other. This part of the mount has a length of 23mm and a maximum width of 19mm. At the rounded end, there is a small integral perforated lug, semi-circular in plan. The perforation is semi-circular. At the opposite, more pointed end is an integral attachment loop which is generally sub- rectangular in plan. The inside dimensions are about 3mm in length and 8.5mm in width, although the inner face, adjacent to the oval part, has a V-shaped recess. Between the oval part and the attachment loop, on either side, is an integral perforated lug similar in shape and size to the lug on the rounded end of the mount. However, these perforations are circular rather than oval. A dark green patina has survived in places on both faces. The front oval part is mainly devoid of a patina and the colour of the metal here is a dark reddish brown.
