Description: | Fragment of a medieval or post medieval mount or strap fitting in the form of a rectangular band with pointed end. One terminal is complete and comes to a rounded point, the sides of the point are concave and meet the main band in a rounded shoulder, from the shoulder the band continues to expand before the break. The break is old and runs straight at 90 degrees across the band. Level with the shoulder is a large central hole containing iron corrosion, possibly the remains of a rivet. The back is flat under the terminal and slightly concave under the main bans, the front is convex with bevelled edges.The fragmentary nature makes it hard to recognise the form of the complete object but it was probably some form of strap or box fitting, either decorative or practical.It is 23.7mm long, 15.6mm wide, 1.8mm thick and weighs 2.50 grams.
