STRAP
Unique ID: NLM-5AFEC1
Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Iron possible strap. Wrought iron strap with an oval end, and with sides tapered to achieve an elongated leaf or lanceleote form. A stout rivet or bolt of shank diameter c.9mm and head diameter c.30mm across [as expanded by corrosion] appears to have attached this object to its setting. Probably building ironwork set into wood, and its poor condition perhaps exacerbated by burning. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800.
Length: 105.5mm, Width: 29mm, Thickness (clear of bolt): 9mm, Weight: 87.81gms
