These illustrate the varied construction of fittings attached to leather straps or clothing, combining functional loops, bars and hooks with decorative profiles and surface ornament. The group principally represents medieval and early modern fastening types. The double-oval frames belong to a tradition particularly widespread during the later medieval period and the 16th–17th centuries, while the more elaborate scroll-decorated frame is consistent with late 17th- or early 18th-century dress accessories. -
