Description: | A copper alloy probably Medieval strap junction. This strap fitting is a sub-square body with a projecting pointed knop at the top and bottom, a circular perforation in each corner and a further central diamond-shaped perforation. It has rounded corners. This central section is flanked by a rectangular loop on both sides. The overall appearance suggests a use for holding 2 ends of a strap/straps. It measures 32.7mm x 21.7mm x 2.7mm, weighing 5.30g. It has a deep brown patina over most of the object. No close parallels have been found, but its style suggests a Medieval date.
