Description: | a copper alloy Post-Medieval mount or belt stiffener. It is an incomplete object with a central oval area flanked by a narrow rectangular bar which protrudes beyond the oval, and expands in the centre to form a trapezoidal 'petal' shape. The opposite terminal is incomplete but sufficient survives to indicate a mirror image of the bar and petal. There is an integral lug on the reverse, which is set at right angles to the mount and measures 8mm before turning at right angles again and extending for a further 13.7mm. The tip of the lug is turned down and is blunt. A further lug would have been set on the missing part of the mount. It measures 16.03mm in surviving length, 15.72mm in width and weighs 2.92g. An example of a rectangular belt stiffener with similar lug attachments can be seen from Norwich, dating to the sixteenth century.
