STRAP FITTING

Unique ID: YORYM-668683

Object type certainty: Certain

A cast copper alloy buckle, with an intact strap fitting. The buckle is D-shaped, with a basic frame and no pin recess, it would appear to be the case that no pin was associated with this item. The strap fitting is formed from a folded plate of copper alloy, wrapped around the strap bar of the buckle. Both the front and back plate have been cut forming a roughly rectangular shape, with a slightly pointed out edge and a 'fish-tail' terminal. The back plate has broken at the open end. There is a copper alloy rivet through the two plates, the rivet hole survives on the front plate. The plates appear to be undecorated. The metal is a mid brownish-green colour and it is pitted. This fitting dates to the medieval to post-medieval period.
