Description: | A thick coopper alloy strap fitting or strap decoration of post-medieval to modern date. The fitting has a sub-triangular base with curved edges which extends in to two splayed leaves, which in turn are either side of a another narrowing and collared triangular element. On the reverse are the remains of two integrally cast attachment spikes which would have secured the fitting to the strap. The style of this fitting, and the thickness of it (which is unusually thick at c.5mm) suggests a late date, porbably at least the 18th or early 19th century if not later. It may have been a decoration on a heavy horse harness.
