Description: | A strap mount cast from copper alloy. The mount has a light green patina and shows areas on both the front and reverse of corrosion and pitting. On the front there are traces of a silvering or tinning, but this has been severly abraided and is now only visible in places. The mount is broadly of a sub-elongated triangle in plan. The edges have been abraided and rounded in the plough-soil causing the mount to become a-symetrical. The end tip of the mount (the tip of the triangle) is lentoid in plan, flaring then narrowing to a small shoulder, the body then flares again and terminates with a knop. The mount is sub-rectangular in section, and the upper, silvered face, is convex. It measures 29mm in length, 9.5mm width (maximum) and is 1.5mm thick. The mount weighs 2.26 grams. The reverse of the mount is flat with two protruding lugs, one of which is broken. These lugs would have attached the mount to a piece of leather, possibly a strap. The unbroken lug is approximately 8mm long and 2mm wide. It is bent at right angles to the body of the mount and the end tapers to a point.
