Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy furniture fitting of post-medieval date. The object is triangular in section with irregularly shaped edges. The upper surface is curved upward toward a central ridge. From one end an attachment knop projects after which the body of the fitting extends a short distance before curving down sharply to around 90 degrees. From this bend the fitting continues on to a flattened section most of which is no longer present due to worn breaks.The upper surface is decorated with a series of incised lozenge shapes radiating outward from the bend. These lines continue along the length of the fitting as triangles.The reverse of the fitting is slightly concave and is undecorated. The metal is a dark brownish-green colour and is worn.While it is not possible to determine the exact nature of the furniture fitting it may be a fragment of a handle.The fitting is 43.4mm long, 17.4mm wide, 12.3mm thick and weighs 24.2g.
