Description: | Undated copper alloy mount/fitting, 33mm long, 32mm wide and 2mm thick with a weight of 7.89grams.The object is incomplete and its central part is a thick sub rectangular plate with rounded ends which curve downwards slightly. In between these downward pointing ends is a central projection which harrows in width and thickens. It then turns outwards forming a short 'hook' with a rounded terminal. Between this and where the projection starts is is a sub spherical protrusion. On the reverse side just above the protrusion is a rectangular sectioned spike which tapers in width and would have formed a point if complete. The upper part of the object is formed of an integral plate which has broken off just above where it angles upwards from the main plate, suggesting a forty five degree angle.The object appears to be some sort of fitting placed at the edge of a larger object, whose function is unknown.
