A complete Post Medieval cast copper alloy strap fitting, c.AD 1700-1900. This item is 'S' shaped in plan with the head at one end of the S and the tail at the other. Unlike more modern examples, the snake is quite naturalistic and not presented in profile. The closed loop created at the head end was permanently attached to a belt or strap. The tail formed a hook that went through an eyelet and therefore did up the belt.
