Description: | A copper alloy Post medieval strap mount dating from AD 1500 - 1700. It is in the form of a fleur-delis, with a transverse band across the base of the feathers, and three pointy stems projecting below. The front is convex and the reverse is flat. There are two integral fixing spikes on the reverse, which are bent over towards each other. Similar examples of strap fittings can be seen in Brian Read's book 'Metal Artefacts of Antiquity' (specifically pp. 29; no. 336), cited in CORN-9409AE and HESH-EEB093. The strap fitting has a dark brown patina and is 17.7mm long, 15.5mm wide and 6.7mm thick. 2.41g.
