Description: | A cast copper-alloy strap fitting, possibly for a sword belt, of Post-Medieval date. It has a flat plate that is anthropomorphic in form depicting a female head looking right. Above the head is a semi-circular lobe that contains a central circular perforation with traces of an iron rivet. At the base of the head the plate constricts, is rectangular in form and trapezoidal in section. Here it folds backwards to give the entire object a U-shaped profile, expanding at its upper edge where there is a second rivet hole directly behind the first and presumably designed to attach the object to a strap or belt. This strap fitting measures 37.42mm in length, 15.84mm in width, and weighs 7.57g. It is of Post-Medieval date, probably belonging in the 16th-18th centuries AD.
