Description: | Cast copper alloy strap mount dating to the Post-Medieval period (1500-1700). The object is irregular in plan and rectangular in cross-section. The object is flat. The narrow base expands outwards from each side and curves inwards, forming two rounded edges, before terminating with a sub-oval projection. The outer face of the object is decorated with a large eagle facing left, perched on a crown. The wings are outstretched to either side. Above the eagle is a possible fleur-de-lis however the object is worn. The rear of the object is undecorated. Attached to the sub-oval projection is a circular attachment lug which is covered with a large rectangle of iron corrosion. The object is in good condition and has a mid-green patina.
