Description: | A cast copper-alloy possible strap slide or some other belt fitting of the Post-Medieval period.The fitting is rectangular in plan, with slightly rounded ends, and C-shaped in profile.The outside face of the object is decorated with a raised wavy line reminiscent of a snake, with raised semi-circular decoration emerging inward from the edges with short raised lines running between the 'snake' and edge decoration.The two shanks, set perpendicular to the main plate of the fitting at each end are D-shaped in section and indicate break-damage and possible traces of soldering.
