Description: | A copper alloy harness or cart fitting, probably dating to the post-medieval period. The fitting has a D-shaped frame with tow short arms projecting from the straight edge that join a thin bar that extends beyond the D-shaped frame. The object is well made and although it appears to be a buckle I think it is more likely a strap fitting for a horse harness or the like. No direct parallels could be found the available literature although another example has been recorded on this database (SWYOR-F2EFD1), where the recording FLO also felt that the object was harness related. The rigidity of the frame and condition of the metal suggests a later post-medieval date, c. 1600-1900 AD.
