Unidentified copper alloy probably medieval object, a square frame with all sides engraved with transverse grooves on one face. The other face is plain and stained with rust. There is a small smoothed area at or near the centre of each side on the decorated face. The object seems too delicate to be considered a strap distributor. It is not recent, and probably medieval.
