STRAP FITTING
Unique ID: HAMP-713AA0
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
A broadly circular mount of medieval date, abraded at the circumference. The mount is of copper-alloy sheet, perforated near the edge at opposing points. One surface is tinned; the other is covered in fine diagonal striations. The perforations are through the coated surface but no rivets survive. For mounts of similar construction see Egan and Pritchard (1991, 166; fig. 107). The edge has been bent slightly as a result of old damage. A similar example can be found on the database: HAMP-4C4148.
