Description: | A rather worn post-medieval (1500-1700) copper-alloy strap fitting with a single integrally cast (bent) spike to the centre of the reverse. Part of the edge is missing. The strap-fitting is lozenge shaped in outline, with a floral or foliate design of four leaves, each filling each corner. From the centre of each is a rib extending to the centre of the object, overall forming a cross. There is a pellet in each angle around the centre.The reverse is flat with a slight hollowing around the base of the integral spike, which is square in cross-section (3.5x3.2mm, narrowing to 0.7mm in diameter at the worn tip).The strap fitting measures 24.1mm long, 18.9mm wide, stands 13.5mm in height (with the bent spike) and without spike is 2.8mm thick. It weighs 2.78g.
