An incomplete copper alloy possible strap end or belt fitting. The terminal end has a rounded knop which narrows slightly before widening into a sub-rectangular section of the fitting. The knop-end of this section has a straight, raised end to stop the material it was attached to from slipping forwards. The opposite end has a raised lug which may be part of an integral rivet or to push through a hole in a leather strap to secure it. The rectangular section then bulges out into a circular plan which tapers off but the shape after this is impossible to tell as the piece is broken. The c…
