Strap fitting/ Mount Copper alloy strap fitting, broadly cruciform in shape. The main body of the fitting is rectangular in plan, and flat in cross-section. This flat rectangular plate is decorated with an incised motif of a square within a concave-sided triangle at the top and bottom outer edge, which would probably originally have been enamelled. Running across this central panel, at right angles, is a raised moulding, terminating on either side in a pair of trumpet-headed terminals. This raised moulding forms the other axis of the cruciform fitting. A central rectangular strap b…

Button and loop fastener or strap terminal Cast copper alloy button and loop fastener or strap terminal. The 'button' takes the form of an open ring, D-shaped in cross-section (flat on reverse) filled with two central circles, which are flat in cross-section. At the centre of each circle is a circular indentation with central pin, perhaps a setting for a stud. The right-angled shank for the loop (now broken), projects backwards from the area where one of the circles meets the ring. The object is heavily coated in accreted iron corrosion.

Cast copper alloy strap fitting, probably a strap junction, from the Post Medieval period. It is circular in plan (37.511m x 32.37mm) and slightly domed. . The upper surface is decorated by four sets of curved lines, in pairs, coming from the centre of the fitting, to the edge. There are also two circular perforations, one of which is now filled up with corrosion. It has two prongs on the reverse, which are quite 6.90mm wide, project 9.12mm down, and are sub-triangular in plan. These probably fitted onto the strap, or another plate.

Cast copper alloy fragment of a late Roman belt fitting of some sort. It is incomplete and so is difficult to tell exactly what it was part of. It has uneven broken edges on all four sides. The reverse is plain, on the front is a pattern of ring and dot motifs, seemingly running in diagonal lines, but they are not that uniform, and as only part of the piece remains it is difficult to define the exact pattern. At one end there is a slightly curved section, which projects upwards, perhaps the start of a catch or attachment loop.

On the flattened side there is a circular hole which is where it would have attached to the other sections. On either side of the hole the loop terminates into stylised animal heads with their mouths open, the flattened side being held in their mouths. The loop narrows away from the flattened edge. The loop measures 26.08 x 24.51mm and the flattened edge is 7.09mm in width.

It is sub-rectangular in plan with a scallop on the outer edge (width of scallop- 10.86mm). It has been squashed slightly out of shape. The central bar is not in the middle, meaning one section is larger than the other. There has been some discussion on the PAS FLO Forum as to whether these objects are buckles, as none have been found with a pin and the height of the axis bar would make it rather clumsy.

These objects usually have a gap in between the two central pieces in order to allow it to 'swivel' but this does not seem to have this facililty. The arms of the loops are irregular in size and shape so it is possible that this is a mis-cast.

It is a piece of sheet copper alloy which has been folded in half over a leather belt with a rivet to keep it in place. The terminal of the front half is in the shape of a 6 petalled flower. The other end, on the reverse is rounded and there is a rivet which runs through the leather close to the end of the terminal.

Fragment of a copper-alloy belt hanger of suggested late medieval date. Several examples of this category of artefact are recorded on the PAS datbase - see, for example, NMS-1EEA45, NMS-D99313 and IOW-7A0A93.

It is an up-turned L shape and is a heavily stylised zoomorphic head, which has a pronounced nose, deeply-grooved mouth and a flat underside. On the top of the head there are some raised l…

Copper alloy Victorian part of a British army belt closure. This consists of a circular plate with a rectangular bar attached on the back which has broken. The front of the circular plate has a lion above a crown. It would have been fitted (by a part now missing) to one end of a leather belt. It would have passed through a circular aperture on the other end of the belt to firmly lock the two ends together. The general style, and the shape of the crown, suggest that this is Victorian: perhaps 1860 - 1900.
