An incomplete Medieval strap fitting, dating to AD 1350-1450. It consists of a lozange-shaped frame, which define a three-lobed loop. At the point of suspension has a transverse constriction, around which a sub-rectangular copper-alloy sheet is wrapped. The latter is incomplete but still bears a circular rivet hole on the front and traces of the corresponding one on the back. The strap fitting is abraded but in fair condition.
