Description: | An incomplete and worn cast copper-alloy strap fitting of Medieval date. It has a flat rectangular plate with single circular rivet holes at top and bottom, both of which retain separately cast rivets with flattened round heads. Extending from the base of the plate is an integrally cast but incomplete hook that terminates in old breaks as it begins to curve backwards. Traces of gilding are visible on the front face of the object. It measures 40.91mm in length, 10.29mm in width, 3.24mm in thickness and 6.21g in weight. This is an incomplete strap fitting or belt mount of Medieval date, probably c.13th-15th centuries AD (cf. Egan and Pritchard, 1991: pp. 155-156).
