Description: | A copper alloy object of Post-Medieval date, possibly a strap slide or harness fitting. It consists of an oval plate curved upward at the narrow terminals to give a concave profile, 29.9mm in length and 11.54mm in width. From one terminal a narrow strip projects, 3.6mm in width and 14.35mm in surviving length. It is bent back and flattened against the plate. There is a scar where a similar strip was attached at the opposite terminal. The upper, concave surface of the plate is decorated with a cut-away pattern based on a long cross with triangular areas within the field. There are traces of gilding within the recesses. The underside of the object is undecorated.
