Description: | Unidentified complete cast copper-alloy fitting of uncertain date, probably Medieval or post-Medieval. The fitting consists of a rectangular hollow tube, D-shaped in section with cut-outs. The cut outs consist of two transverse rectangular openings with the lower plate having scalloped edges to the underside plate and straight edges on the upper plate. The ends of the 'tube' are open and D-shaped in section with a rounded lobe to the underside plate at either end. It is possible that the fitting forms some sort of strap junction but no parallel has currently been found for this item. Dated broadly 1200-1700 pending the identification of a securely dated parallel.
