Description: | A post medieval, cast lead alloy strap loop, probably dating from 1600-1700. In plan, the loop is rectangular with rounded ends. On the long, outer side of the loop the metal widens into an elongated oval panel decorated with four longitudinal grooved lines. On the opposite, inner side, at the point where the loop was attached to the strap, is another, smaller pointed oval, this one on the inside of the loop, undecorated and slightly domed. On the reverse of this smaller oval are the remains of a rectangular ferrous plate. This probably acted as a rove, trapping the leather between the loop and the plate. The loop is somewhat distorted. It is oval in section where undecorated. It measures 72.2mm long, 31.8mm wide and 18.7mm thick. It weighs 64.79gm. A very similar example can be found on the database at reference SOM-7DD615, and a smaller, silver example, considered by the British Museum to be of slightly later date (1700-50) is at reference SWYOR-B03DE1.
