Description: | A copper alloy fitting which comprises a rectangular loop within a frame which has three rounded projections. Leading from this is a tapering shaft which widens into a terminal which appears to be in the form of a debased animal head. The latter has two rivet holes both of which show traces of iron. When in use the loop and shaft probably extended beyond the width of the strap onto which the object was attached. The trilobed loop is typically found on Anglo-Scandinavian harness fittings of the 11th century.
