Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting, possibly. The strap fitting componet is an elongated traingle in plan and appears to be solid. At either terminal there is the remains of a copper alloy rivet. Both surfaces are decorated with a row of circular indentations forming a border. The widest terminal has two integral arms protruding from the strap fitting. These arms flare outwards, are semi-circular in section and terminate with a blunt, worn broken edge. This portion of the strap fitting is possibly a portion of a clasp, as there is no hole in the strap fitting for a pin, thereby forming a possible buckle frame. The object has a dark green patina. It measures 46.62mm long, 11.31mm wide and 3.64mm thick. It weighs 5.2g.The style of the object and condition perhaps suggests a Medieval date.
