Description: | A complete copper alloy Strap Fitting of unknown type dating from the Post Medieval Period, circa AD 1600 - AD 1850.The object is sub rectangular in plan and is rectangular in cross section. The top of the object is sub oval in plan and tapers into a rectangular section, this section has been bent over to lie parrallel with the oval in centre of object. Below the rectangular section is a rectanular raised collar with a thin groove running through it. Below this is an oval section with a central decoration of a figure facing, the figure is squatting with both arms bent at the elbow and raised. The oval section tapers into a curved point, the point has been bent at a right angle to the rest of the object.The object measures 48.7 mm in length and is 12.5 mm wide. It has a thickness of 3.5 mm and weighs 7.4 g.The object is a mid brown in colour with an even patina. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil may have resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. There is no direct comparison to this artefact on the database, however the style of decoration may suggest an Indian influence which indicates a probable Post Medieval date range.There are possible similar examples on the database including HAMP-F08F81, SWYOR-753160 and SUSS-F469B6.
