A cast copper alloy strap slide or loop dating to the Post-medieval period. The strap slide is rectangular in both plan and section with a U-shaped cross section. The upper face of the strap slide is decorated with punched crescent and lozenge-shaped motifs intended to be floral in appearance. The reverse of the strap slide bears the remnants of iron pins or studs that would have secured the slide; the slide was used to contain the end of a strap, much like a modern belt loop. The style and design on this strap slide suggests a later post-medieval date of between the 17th and 19th cen…

Both surfaces of the coin are severely abraded and there are circumferential losses making a positive identification difficult.
