Description: | Incomplete Post Medieval cast copper alloy strap fitting, 1500-1700 AD. The find consists of the stud and suspension loop from a composite pendant strap mount: when complete, it would have had a decorative element suspended from it. The mount has a circular-plan head which extends into a notched rectangle, in between which a pendant element would have been suspended. At the terminal of each projection, on either side of the notch, is a round knop. The mount has been cast with an internal rivet that is visible on the reverse. The surface of the mount has gilded decoration. The mount measures 21.9mm long, 11.5mm wide and 4.4mm thick. It weighs 1.69 grams.
