Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting.The object comprises a roughly lozenge shaped plate. Three of the angles have rounded loops cast integrally. Only one of the loops still survives. The other two have broken off and corroded. The lower angle of the plate terminates with a flat edge, with appears to be broken. The break is worn. The front surface of the fitting has been decorated with punched, hand-drawn decoration, in the form of multiple circles. Three lines have been drawn on the centre possibly representing the veins of a leaf. Around these veins there are larger circles, with smaller ones around the edge of the plate. There also appears to be some cross-hatching engraved onto the surface of the plate. The reverse is undecorated. The metal is a mid greyish-green colour and the surface is slightly pitted.This fitting is post-medieval in date, probably 17th - 18th century.
