Description: | A complete triangular plate copper-alloy possible book fitting of Post-Medieval date.The plate is flat. The attachment end is pointed and on the opposite terminal are two rectangular projecting knops. These have been bent backwards to enclose a separate bar, with some iron corroded remains still within. There are two parallel circular rivet holes.This object measures 30.90mm in length, 14.51mm in width, 0.96mm in thickness, 1.68g in weight.Book fittings of similar function have been recorded by Margeson (Margeson, 1993, p. 75, plate XIII). However, no direct parallels could be found.
