Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting of probable seventeenth century date. The flat broadly triangular fitting measures 27.4mm by 26.5mm by 2.5mm (excluding the lugs) and weighs 5.6g. The wider end is trefoil-shaped (one of the outer lobes is broken) and the other end tapers to a blunt point. One the front of the plate, the central lobe of the trefoil has been accentuated with incised lines. On the back of the fitting there are two integrally cast pointed attachment lugs, one of which is bent. Only the stub of the second remains.
