Just dug this up in some pasture land, Looks like a handle off something - seen something similar at the end of keys! Copper Alloy (I think) pretty heavy - something has deffinately broken off it at the point where it becomes about 8mm round.
Flat oval shaped - 3 holes decoration:

Reconsruction of broken hole:

Any ideas? Seen this design before?

Are Strap ends 'Hollow'? - This is quite solid.
I bet Crusader is out digging somewhere!

No, strap ends aren't hollow! Are them holes countersunk :icon_scratch:

I think he's probably having a rest at work :D

Looks like they are slightly - Not thinking for screw heads though as neither side would sit flat against anything.

Visiting the farmer to show him all the stuff off his land. I'm saving my arm for this weekend :wink:

Very bad fire damaged modernish clothes hook (hook part missing), 3 holes for the screws to hold it.
