An incomplete cast copper alloy probable book fitting, of probable Post Medieval dating.
The book fitting is irregular in plan. The edges are bevelled. One end is rectangular, with a central hole, presumably for fixing to the leather cover of the book. Then the fitting tapers towards a circular terminus, now incomplete.
The fitting is mid green colour, with an even surface patina.
It measures 36.6mm in length, 14.27mm wide and 2.07 mm thick. It weighs 3.7 grams.
