A complete post-Medieval copper-alloy strap fitting (c.1600-c.1700). This looped object is probably from a sword-belt. The fitting is sub-trapezoidal in plan with a double cusped edge at one end. It tapers in width from 27.7mm to 17.6mm before narrowing abruptly to 8.5mm where it meets the loop. At the front, there is a central longitudinal groove which tapers in width from the cusped end towards the looped end. A sub-circular hole either side of the groove is probably for rivets. The hole of the loop is elongated, probably due to wear. The reverse is flat and plain. The meta…

An incomplete post-Medieval copper-alloy strap fitting from a sword-belt (1500-1600). The hooked end is missing. Originally this would have been one of a trio of similar plates, which would have suspended from a mount with three suspension loops. Scabbard straps would have been attached to the plates. The plate is sub-triangular in plan with a trefoil terminal. At the front it is decorated with an elaborate scrolling foliate pattern with fronds to either side from a central stem, reaching into the trefoil end. There are two rivet holes on the longitudinal centre-line, one at ea…
