Description: | Complete cast copper alloy composite strap fitting, probably Medieval to Post Medieval (1300-1700 AD). The decorative mount is made out of two copper alloy sheets of the same trapezoidal shape riveted together in four places. The sheet mount has a circular plan upper half with a collar which gives way to a diamond-shaped lower half. On the reverse a mount protrudes from the centre of the circular upper half and from the three extending corners of the diamond-shaped lower half. These rivets connect the two sheets of the mounts, creating a laminate effect. The mount is 34.4mm long, 25.2mm wide across the diamond and 5.8mm thick. It weighs 7.30 grams.
