An incomplete copper alloy strap fitting, possibly a mount. The item has a flat rectangular body decorated with incised floral motifs. The remains of a white paste is visible within some of the recesses. A copper alloy rivet is located at the complete end; the other end appears to be broken around a rivet hole. Probably medieval, but may also be post-medieval.
