A flat and incomplete leather object, 175mm in length, probably of post medieval date. The object comprises a strap which terminates in an oval loop with 41mm internal width. This has stitching around the inner and outer edges. The other end tapers to a break, and has stitching holes along both sides. There are also six stitching holes in two lines of three towards the looped end forming a reinforced attachment, suggesting this item was subject to regular tension stress during its use.
