Description: | Probably complete cast copper alloy possible Window fitting or fitting for other household item. The fitting is flat in section and roughly semi-circular in plan with a short scrolled knop projecting outwards to either end of the edge of the semi-circle. This edge of the semi-circle is not straight but scalloped with the two scrolled ends following the pattern of this undulation. The main semi-circular part of the fitting has two sub-oval holes side-by-side.Although no good published parallel has been found it has been suggested that it is similar to known post-Medieval window fittings, possibly forming part of a hasp or latch.Based on the decoration and form it has been dated to the post-Medieval period, approximately the seventeenth century, c.1600-1700.
