Description: | A probably Medieval/ Early Post-Medieval copper alloy pendant strap fitting in the form of a stylised leaf with a loop at either end. Its function is unknown. Measures 15.38x8.92x2.17mm and weighs 0.77g.The strap-fitting has a small loop at the apex of the leaf-shape (which has two projections to either side) 2.40mm in diameter (internal 1.45mm). At the base of the loop is a wider, more oval, loop 6.52mm wide (internal 4.28x3.17mm).The object may be related to hooked clasp fittings from sword belt fittings, for eg. Read 2008 p.225 no.806. It should be noted however that the object in question here is a good deal smaller.
