Description: | A medieval (1200 - 1400) gilt copper alloy probable strap fitting, perhaps a bar mount with integral loop, or a small buckle without a perforation for a pin. The object comprises a rectangular bar, trapezoidal in cross-section, being bevelled on the upper surface and flat to the reverse, which at one end flares into the flat, circular loop. The bar contains two in situ copper alloy rivets. Gilding covers much of the upper surface. The object measures 24.6mm in total length, with the bar being 3.8mm wide and the loop 9.5mm wide (internal diameter c.6mm). It is 3.4mm thick with rivets, 1.4mm thick without and weighs 0.76g.
