Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting of medieval to post-medieval date. The fitting has a circular attachment loop through which a large, off-centre hole has been made. From this a short neck extends widening slightly to a thick collar. From here the fitting continues to widen to another collar. The resulting section is decorated with a ring and dot motif which appears to have once been filled with enamel. From the second collar the fitting forks into two terminating in rounded points. The reverse of the fitting is flat and undecorated but has a large section of corrosive material in the centre.The metal is a dark reddish-brown colour and is slightly worn. The strap fitting is 30.8mm long, 1mm thick and weighs 2.6g.
