Description: | A medieval copper alloy strap fitting, probably a belt mount and possibly originally gilt. It is in the form of a fleur-de-lis, the leaves curving to form an openwork circle. Below is a semi-circular projection decorated with radiating grooves. The mount has three rivet holes arranged longitudinally; in the semi-circular projection, at the centre of the stem and in the central projection of the lis. The latter two carry in situ (though corroded) rivets. The strap fitting is flat to the reverse and domed to the front. Almost all of the original patina is missing. It measures 17.3mm in length, 12.8mm in max.width, 2.4mm in thickness and weighs 0.92g.
