Description: | An incomplete copper alloy sexfoil mount or strap fitting, of probably Post Medieval dating (AD 1500 to AD 1700).The strap fitting is sub circular in shape, with six lobes or sexfoil shape. The front has been decorated with a raised central pellet. Positioned within the centre of each lobe, is a recessed pellet. Traces of a white metal coating are present. The reverse is flat and undecorated. Two incomplete integral rectangular sectioned attachment spikes are present.It measures 20.9 mm in length, 20.6 mm wide and 5.8 mm thick. It weighs 3.9 g.The strap fitting is a mid green colour, with an even surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface patina.
