Description: | A worn copper alloy decorative strap fitting of early post-medieval date. The strap fitting is shaped broadly like a fly with folded wings and a simple rounded terminal knop for the head. Although similar artefacts are known to have represented flies the intention may have been to depict something else. There are two integrally cast prongs on the reverse that would have secured the mount to the leather strap. c.16th century AD.
