Description: | A probably incomplete medieval (1250-1350) copper alloy hooked strap fitting, missing the return of the hook. It is extremely worn with a heavily pitted surface and missing all of its original patina.The upper part of the fitting is in the form of a bar with an integral rivet to the reverse. It is D-shaped in cross-section (8.3x4.9mm). Beyond a transverse rib the probable incomplete probable hook projects in a curve (7.3x4.4, D-shaped in cross-section), curving outwards then in again, narrowing to a rounded tip. It is difficult to tell whether this is an original narrowing or through wear.The integral rivet is rectangular in cross-section, measuring 3.4x4.3mm.The object measures 31.7mm in length, 8.4mm in max.width, 8.8mm in max.depth and 6.7mm in max.thickness (at the rivet). It weighs 5.02g.
