Description: | A complete copper-alloy decorative strap or belt mount. Roughly rectangular in shape measuring 24.4mm in length and 12.7mm in width. This mount has two pairs of parallel U-notches in its sides, the edges of the mount inbetween these notches have small V-shaped notches cut into them. Projecting from either end of the back face there is a rectangular shaped shaft, both of which are bent over at c90 degrees to meet in the middle. These would have gripped the missing belt/strap. A white metal coating can be seen on both faces of this decorative mount. It is most likely to be early post medieval in date c16th-17th century. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
