Description: | Post Medieval copper alloy gilded sword-belt mount, 35mm wide and 28mm high with a weight of 6.50grams. The object is in fair condition with a beige/green patina. It consists of a central oval suspension loop from which hangs a sub- rectangular plate, which is decorated with four raised horizontal lines. The reverse has a circular rivet, 3mm in length and diameter, at each end. On each lower edge of this plate was an almond-shaped protrusion. The right one is missing, but the surviving left one is decorated with an engraved flower above two leaves. The whole surface of the object has been gilded and large patches of this remain.
