Description: | Copper alloy plate, probably from a strap fitting of medieval or Post medieval date. The piece is rectangular with one slightly concave end and a projecting trapezoid tab at the opposite end. The tab narrows away from the main plate and ends in a slightly bent up end, probably an old break. There are two circular holes thtough the plate, one near each end for attachment. The front is gilded. It is 36.0mm long by 16.8mm wide and 1.2mm thick and weighs 3.86g.The lack of pin slit suggests it is not from a buckle and it is more robust than most strap end or book clasp plates suggesting it may be part of a strap fitting or attachment.
