Description: | A probably Post-Medieval (c.1600-1700) copper alloy strap fitting consisting of three conjoined circular plates, each decorated with double-ring and single-dot and arranged linearly. From either end of linear arrangement, and from beneath the joins either side of the central circular plate, an arm projects (c.0.7x1.2mm in cross-section). All four of these join with another arm at right angles to them c.1.5x1.1mm in cross-section), creating three square loops c.8x8mm. The arms are all rather spindly.All original patina is now lost and the metal is purplish in colour. In style it echoes Roman military strap fastenings of the 4th century, but the flimsy nature of the object suggests it is probably Post-Medieval in date.It measures 28.06mm in length, 7.16mm in max.width, 10.71mm in depth and weighs 1.59g.
