Description: | Medieval strap fitting or possibly book fitting, repoussé sheet in the form of a serpent or dragon curved into an S-shape, rivet hole through head and tail, body decorated with thirteen punched dots. Two elongated apertures between the neck/tail and the body are not decorative but the result of deliberate puncturing. The size (26 - 27mm across) and the thinness of the sheet may indicate that this may have been too delicate to be used to decorate a belt. If this is so, then it may have adorned a book cover. 13th - 14th century.
