A cast copper alloy, strap fitting, possibly a harness mount in the form of a letter 'C' of indeterminate date c. 100 - 1700 AD. The mount has a 'D' shape profile and the font is in the 'Roman' style that goes back to the 15th century. It is possible that this item is Post Medieval but a Roman origin is also concievable.

The surface has a dark green, pitted patina with some ferrous staining to the rear face.
