Description: | A slightly corroded medieval copper-alloy sheet element from a strap-fitting, probably from a broken rectangular buckle plate. Before the squared off terminal is an off-centre perforation. Retained within it is a rivet with a flattened head and a circular rove at the other (Dia.: 7.3mm, Th.: 0.7mm). The other end is broken, snapped in a shallow diagonal line. The upper surface features a basic border within which a central zone filled with curved lines, one of which curls round the rivet. The dark red-brown metal is consistent with gilding; small traces of gilt survive. There are other small areas of off-white and light-green corrosion product. The rove, of a different alloy, is a mid/dark-green colour. The object has been bent downwards at the broken end.
