Description: | A post-medieval copper alloy strap fitting with two integral pointed lugs dating to the period AD 1600-1700. The mount is complete. The strap fitting is sexfoil and is decorated with a fleuret in the shape of a tudor rose. In the centre of the fleuret, there is a large central raised pellet surrounded by a depressed area with double lines radiating from the centre towards each of the outer petals. These are surrounded by a ring of six petals. The back is undecorated apart from two lugs comprising flat strips of copper alloy shaped into a triangular point and which are bent over towards the centre.
