Description: | A slightly corroded cast copper-alloy strap fitting with hooked element of post-medieval date (c. 1550 - c. 1700 AD). The artefact tapers to a knobbed terminal with ridged collar, and curves round to lozengiform terminal. The upper surface of the fitting has two parallel longitudinal grooves running inside two transverse grooves, in line with the lozengiform terminal; there is a transverse ridge above. The strap fitting generally has a semicircular cross-section with a flat reverse; above the moulding the cross-section flattens with the lozengiform terminal attaining a rectangular cross-section. The fitting has corroded to a deep red-brown colour with patches of green patina; traces of a white metal coating survive around the mouldings. The knobbed terminal has been bent downwards. A parallel can be found on this database - HAMP-10BEA6.
