Description: | An incomplete Medieval (1200-1400) copper alloy strap fitting with two integral rivets, in the form of a mount with integral loop. One corner of the fitting is missing. It measures 33.23x11.10x11.40mm and weighs 5.07g.The object comprises a sheet of copper alloy bent to form a loop with a rectangular section at either end in which two vertically arranged rivets are set. The loop is narrowest at the curve (5.93x1.41mm), widening to each rectangular section, 11.10x1.08mm and 11.06x1.53mm. The rivets are of a different copper alloy to the fitting (the rivets are purplish brown in colour, the fitting a pitted green), and they measure c.2mm in diameter.The fitting presumably served as a belt mount from which objects such as keys, purses, etc. could be suspended.
