Title
Belt or strap fitting
Description
English: Copper alloy strap or belt fitting, possibly a sword belt hanger dating from the post-medieval period, that is the 16th-17th century. The fitting appears complete but with a much corroded and very flaky surface. It is tear-drop shaped and made up of a strip with two tear-drop shaped terminals, folded over and held together with what looks like an iron rivet. This rivet may have attached the fitting to a leather strap or belt. The rivet or pin itself is missing and only ferrous corrosive products remain. The fitting appears undecorated, but due to the very worn surface it is difficult to discern if there was a more intricate decoration originally.
