Description: | A cast copper alloy gilded strap fitting.The object has been cast as one piece and is triangular in shape. Two rivet holes survive on the object and one still contains the copper alloy rivet. On the shorter straight end there are two projecting attachment loops. These elements perhaps once formed a loop which allowed the fitting to be attached to a strap. The object is undecorated and corroded. Gilding survive on the entire front surface. Bent back on itself there is a smaller plate, which forms the back plate. It is also gilded. The metal is a mid greyish-green colour; it is probably medieval to post-medieval in date.
