Description: | Cast copper alloy mount. There is a central pellet with projecting petals from the centre towards a bordering concentric circle which in turn sits within the circular outer edge. The reverse of the object retains some of the leather due to two integral rivets being bent over the material. The object would have been used to decorate a leather belt, shoe, girdle or some other item. Alternatively it may have been decoration for some sort of animal equipment like a horse harness. It also may have been covered in gold gilt, silver or tin to make the object appear as a decoration. The object dates to between the 16th and mid 19th centuries post-medieval period.
