Description: | Copper alloy sheet fitting, probably a Medieval strap end. The piece is formed of a sub-rectangular strip of copper alloy bent back on itself but not quite in half. The fitting is plain and has a circular hole, pierced centrally through both ends near the outer edges. There is a rivet in place through the hole. The slight gap between the two folds is wider at the folded end as though it has been bent around a bar. It is 12.94mm long and 10.61mm wide, the sheet is 0.32mm thick and the fitting is 1.56mm thick at the riveted end, 2.26mm at the folded end; it weighs 0.76 grams.See SOM-564945
