Description: | A copper-alloy medieval strap fitting, possibly a buckle, consisting of a frame and attached complete folded sheet copper-alloy plate. Measuring 51.46mm in total length. The frame is rectangular in shape and narrow, it measures 25.59mm in width and 10.84mm in width. The outer edge has knops at each corner and is very worn, it is therefore possible that this frame originally had a central bar and was double looped. Therefore this strap fitting would have been a buckle, however, due to wear, this is no longer certain. If the fitting is a buckle then it must have had a double looped frame with a central bar as the plate has no pin hole or slot.The plate, 44.07mm in length and 24.72mm in width, consists of two oval shaped parts and a waisted part occurs between these. There are two copper-alloy rivets through the centre of the first shorter oval-shaped part and one through the centre of the end of the other longer oval-shaped part. The plate is folded through the inner edge of the frame and the two rivets hold the back of it in place.
