Description: | An incomplete copper alloy strap fitting of Medieval date (AD 1550-1700). The object is possibly a sword belt fitting. It consists of a flat triangular plate with a partially retained, projecting, integral suspension loop with two ovate voids for attaching the object to a strap. The body tapers to a broad hook which is curved backwards to complete a loop. The hook is rectangular in plan and section and is intact. The object also has a single retained rivet situated at the shoulder between the pain plate and the hook. The front plate is decorated with a repeating punched pattern consisting of a lozenge with saltair within and a line which descends from the base of the lozenge to the upper portion of the retained rivet. The back of the objects is undecorated.The metal is a dark green in colour with a predominantly smooth patina.
