Description: | A cast copper-alloy decorative strap fitting or belt mount of Post-Medieval date. It is in the form of an 8-pointed star, with moulded front face and concave back face. At each end of the back face are integrally cast lugs that are oval shaped in section, taper to rounded points, and are curved in profile. Traces of a dark green patina are visible in places, particularly on the front face, but the entire object has suffered from post-depositional wear. It measures 38.34mm in length, 27.51mm in width, 6.17mm in thickness, and weighs 10.43g. This is a decorative strap fitting or mount with a near identical example published by Read (1995: no. 741). It is of 16th to 17th century AD date, c.1500-1700 AD.
