Description: | Probably post-medieval copper alloy probable strap fitting, consisting of a piece of metal bent in a U-shape, possibly to create some sort of hook. It weighs 10.31g and is 32.9mm in length.The object can be divided into three parts - a rectangular plate with two rows of four piercings, c.2mm in diameter; the base of the 'loop', circular in shape; the back of the loop, a plain rectangle with a rounded end.The plate with the piercings measures 27.1x11.9x2.6mm. One end narrows into the top of a V and joins to the circular area 9.5mm wide and 3mm thick. It is c.10mm long. This in turn narrows to join a thinner plate, 27.6x6.4x2.9mm. The rounded end of this plate bends to touch the reverse of the pierced plate.16th-18th century in date.
