Description: | Copper alloy strap-distributor, perhaps from horse harness. Square in shape, it has an openwork short-armed cross at the centre. Each corner is defined by a square element; the corners are conjoined by narrow, recessed, rectangular-sectioned connecting bars. The reverse is flat. The strap-distributor measures circa 12mm by 12mm. Four separate copper alloy strap-attachments are folded around the recessed sections of the sides. The strap-attachments have one circular terminal which has an integral square-sectioned rivet on the reverse.
