Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap fitting of the late Medieval period.
The strap fitting is generally amphora-shaped, with a sub-circular head connected to a tapering body by a narrow neck. The head has three small inscribed rings for decoration. The back of the fitting has two simple hooks for attaching the object. One hook is on the head, while the other is close to the rounded point of the base.
The surface may have been painted in red.
