A probable copper alloy strap slider of medieval or post medieval date. The fitting is roughly trefoil shaped with the remains of what appears to be grooved decoration on the front. On the reverse is a rectangular loop, also rectangular in cross section, which allowed the object to be threaded onto a belt or harness strap. The strap slider has suffered extensive corrosion resulting in the loss of surface detail, making this example difficult to date closely. Numerous similar examples of various dates may be seen on this database, for example LIN-8768E5.
