An incomplete copper alloy openwork cruciform mount or strap fitting, of probable Post Medieval dating (AD 1600 to AD 1800). The strap fitting is cruciform in shape, with four projecting arms. Each arm is the same and terminates in an rounded knop, with a circular sectioned copper alloy rivet placed through it.
