Description: | An incomplete and worn cast copper alloy strap fitting dating to the late medieval period. The strap fitting has a sub-circular face-plate with slight receeses spaced around the outher edges in which four small lobes project. On the reverse is the remains of two integrally cast copper alloy shanks that would have secured the decorative fitting to the strap. The face of the fitting may have been decorated or finished with gilding however it is too worn and corroded to be certain. Probably 14th to 16th century AD.
