Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy strap fitting, probably from a sword belt. Only one suspension loop from the plate survives. It is a tab with a rounded end containing a circular hole. There are transverse grooves across the tab beneath the hole. The rest of the plate has broken away. It was probably similar in design to ESS-6089B7 or IOW-1DEC97. A Post Medieval date of 1550 - 1700 is likely. The object was recovered near to Towton Battlefield, so an earlier date of about 1461 is also a possibility.
