Description: | A cast copper alloy artefact, currently unidentified, but probably of post medieval or modern date, 1600-1900. It is probably a furniture fitting or part of a swivel strap fitting. It is incomplete, one end having broken away in antiquity, with the break being patinated. The main body of the remaining portion is oval in shape and slightly curved. At the complete end is a conical collar and a circular shaft. The casting seam is visible on the collar and the end of the shaft, suggesting that it is complete. At the other end are two small, rounded projections, one on each side. The body is flat, but along the centre of both upper and lower surfaces is a decoration consisting of longitudinal row of five projecting lobes. The artefact displays a patchy dark brown patina. It is 31.99mm long, 9.87mm wide and 9.27mm thick. It weighs7.04gm.
