Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting of probable 16th century date. The fitting is hollow with a D-shaped section and comprises a body with a hooked extension. The separately-attached backplate is largely missing. Decoration, as is typical for these fittings, comprises double-stranded diaper pattern inlaid with niello. Similar decoration appears on contemporary metal-framed purses with which these fittings were probably associated.
