The object consists of a rectangular plate with a rivet in each upper corner. It sits above a semi-spherhical protrusion which is hollow and has a small circular hole in its underside. Below this sits a triangular shaped folded plate with the narrow folded end forming a suspension loop. The plate continues to create a base plate for the whole object, this is held in place by a further rivet above and below the sphere, centrally placed. The object is designed to fix something together, it may be part of a book catch or a harness fitting?
