Description: | Post medieval mount; cast copper alloy belt mount of 16th or early 17th century date. The mount is asymmetrical with a trilobed top terminal, a wide, tapering central section and a similar trilobed lower section. The middle lobe of the lower section is broken off, suggesting that it may have originally had a hook extending from the bottom. The mount is decorated on the front face with incised lines giving a foliate feel to the mount. There are also traces of gilding on the front. The mount has a circular, iron rivet in the centre at both top and bottom. The heads of both rivets are still present.
Length 36.2mm, width 17.4mm, thickness 2.7mm, weight 7.06g
