Description: | A fragment of a Post Medieval strap fitting, perhaps from a sword belt mount, c. 1500-1700 AD. The fragment consists of a circular fitting end with a sub-rectangular hole and an attached circular suspension loop; the rest of the object, including the rivet-end is missing. It measures 19.48 mm long, 23.89 mm wide, 3.13 mm thick and weighs 2.5 grams. For a similar example see lower part of the example from East Devon in Read 2001, 'Metal Artifacts of Antiquity', p43 no. 372. Cf. also PAS records: NMS-f7b681 and HAMP-494402.
