Description: | Copper-alloy belt mount of probable 17th C. AD date. The central section of the plate is sub-oval in shape. This narrows towards the ?top end and is squared off, with a decorative rounded knob above. The bottom section consists of a horizontally aligned sub-rectangular panel above a rounded knob. The plate is flat and shows possible traces of gilding (although this could equally be uncorroded bronze). The reverse is undecorated and has two integral rivets. The uppermost rivet is located just below the top of the mount. It measures approximately 5mm long and is bent upwards. Only a remnant of the second rivet remains, located two thirds of the way down the object. The piece measures 23.8mm high by up to 10.8mm wide and 1.2mm thick (plate). The weight is 2.17g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
