Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy strap fitting or dress fastener. The object consists of an oval plate with a rectangular bent projection for attachment, now broken. There is a loop on one side of the attachment, the opposite loop has broken off. There are other broken knops around the edge of the plate which indicate that there may have been other loops. There is a circular loop on the end of the plate. The plate itself has been decoratively stamped and features a floral, within three borders, made up from two solid oval rings and one made from a continuous run of pellets. The surface is mid greenish-brown in colour. The reverse is undecorated. This fitting probably dates to the 17th - 18th century.
