Description: | Sheet copper alloy strap fitting. Two rectangular sheet copper alloy plates attached by four plain/flat-headed cast copper alloy rivets, one at each corner. Transverse striations (?file marks) on the surface of one of the sheets, diagonal striations (?file marks) on the other. Fine mid-dark green patina on the sheets; red-brown patina on the rivets. Some small fragments of the leather strap survived inside the fitting, now loose (pictured at top of image). This does not appear to have been a buckle plate, as there is no evidence for a fold to take the frame having been broken off. Length 33.71mm, width 15.05mm, thickness including rivets 3.9mm, thickness of sheet c.0.6mm, weight 2.56g. Probably Roman, possibly Medieval.
