Description: | A fragment od Medieval to Post Medieval leather strap with a copper alloy round mount with an integral rivet and separate rove. The strap is made from thick leather. The mount has an integral rivet, which can be seen on the other outer face of the strap, projecting through a corresponding rove. Both ends of the leather terminate in an old break; therefore the original length of the strap and it's terminals is unknown. The fragment measures 18.9mm long, 17.5mm wide, 9.7mm thick and weighs 5.97 grams.This strap may have been part of a horse harness. Round mounts were used throughout the late medieval to modern periods, therefore a broad 14th to 19th century date has been suggested. Very similar examples can be seen on the database: KENT-A24683 and KENT-1C6095.
