Description: | Complete Post Medieval cast copper alloy strap fitting (1500-1700 AD). The decorative mount has a symmetrical shape with a central oval section from which flares out at each end a fish-tail shaped section with two rounded lobes and a recessed inner section. From the recessed inner section on each end a long tab has been folded back around to the reverse face of the fitting and is clearly visible there. These hooked tabs would have attached the mount to the strap. The upper surface of the mount has been decorated with a repeated punched pattern of annulets, the reverse is plain. The entire mount has a dark olive-green patina. The mount is 26.2mm long, 12.2mm wide and 10.7mm thick. It weighs 5.22 grams.
