Description: | A copper-alloy strap fitting, probably of Late Saxon or early Medieval date (circa 1000-1100). The object has a rectangular attachment loop and a sub-rectangular openwork body with rounded terminal. A small swelling extends on either side where the loop meets the body. The body has a large oval openwork cell at the attachment-end, and two circular openwork cells towards the terminal. Part of the frame near the terminal is missing. An incised line runs around the openwork cells. The metal has a mid-brown-grey patina with patches red corrosion.
