STRAP FITTING

Unique ID: NMS-6C7237

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Incomplete post medieval copper alloy strap fitting, probably from a sword belt, dating to the perod c. AD 1600 - 1700. A moulded foliate plate, broken across the top, with relief foliate and floriate design on the front. There are traces of a black substance in recesses around the design. At the bottom of the plate is a single rivet hole.

The shape and foliate decoration is a common feature of sword belt fittings and scabbard mounts of the same period discussed by Margeson (1993, 38-39, 256-259). Similar objects are also discussed by Read (2001, p. 41, nos. 348 - 350 & p.43, no. 373). Their shape and decoration appear to be relatively standardised.
