Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy fitting, probably part of a strap fitting possibly from a box or book of probable Medieval date. The fitting is flat and has an elongated rectangular body with an integrally cast flat sub-oval terminal at one end. The terminal had 4 (one missing) circular knop projections arranged in a square around the edges. The centre of the sub-oval terminal has a circular hole, probably for an attachment rivet. The sub-oval part of the fitting has stippled decoration and there are traces of gilding remaining. The fitting has been dated broadly to the later Medieval period c.1200-1500 but no good parallel has been found at this time.
