Description: | A cast copper alloy double ended strap fitting. The fitting was probably used as a strap junction to join two thin straps. The two arms of the strap fitting are equally matched in size. In the centre there is a round block. Branching off from block are the two arms of the fitting. Both taper outwards from the centre. Both have wide split ends, with three copper alloy rivet still in situ. The metal is a mid greenish-brown colour and the surface is slightly pitted. It probably dates to the medieval period, circa 1200 - 1600.
