Description: | Medieval copper alloy strap-fitting. D-sectioned bar with stylised pointed animal head terminal at one end consisting of a ridge to either side indicating ears and concave mouldings defining the snout. There is a rivet through the animal head terminal and another at the other end before a transverse ridge beyond which the plate expands to form an oval frame with rounded knop terminal and double-lobed (almost keyhole-shaped) aperture. Perhaps a form of clasp, similar to the female part of the fitting in Read (2008, 225, no.807). Length 52mm. Maximum width 11mm.12th - 14th century.
