Description: | Medieval - Post Medieval copper alloy strap suspension fitting. The strap fitting has a bent strip of copper alloy sheet with a seperate copper alloy rivet joining the ends which would originally have gone through the strap. From the loop of the strip is suspended a crude copper alloy ring made of a circular sectioned piece of wire bent around with loosely abutting ends. Similar examples of suspended rings are known from Medieval straps (e.g. Egan and Pritchard 1991:221, fig 138) however this example is cruder and more flimsy as the ring is not solid as in the example above. Ring diameter 15.9mm. Plate measures 12.1mm long by 7.7mm wide. It weighs 2.72 grams.
