Description: | A copper alloy Post medieval strap fitting; a belt fastner in the form of a S shaped snake. The features of the snake; eyes and scales, are clearly depicted. There are V shaped scales on one face, and transverse lines on the other. The fastener is very similar to many on the database, such as IOW-832BD6 but is unusual in having a bulbous area behind the head. Another example with this bulge is HAMP-229F45. The fastener has a light green and brown colour and dates from 1575 - 1800.
