Description: | A cast copper-alloy object, possibly a strap fitting or a clasp for attachment. The object has a semi-circular plate at one end with a separate copper-alloy rivet still attached. From the straight side of the plate emerges an oval sectioned shank which terminates in a globular knop, which may have slotted into an aperture for attachment. The patina of the object, a rough green with areas of purple brown is perhaps suggestive of a medieval or post-medieval date, although a precise function and date are at this point uncertain. It measures 27.21 mm long, 24.58 mm wide, 9.07 mm thick and weighs 6.6 grams.
