Description: | A copper-alloy mount or strap slider of probable post-medieval date. Although no exact parallel could be found for this piece, the decoration and general style is consistent with harness decorations and belt fittings of the 16th and 17th century (see B. Read; 2001; pp. 43-46).The plate is irregular in shape, with a large acorn-shaped section, narrowing into a smaller (?)bottom section with two opposing side lobes; the top and bottom points terminate in a projecting knob. The surface of the plate is convex, has a small central hole and may originally have had cast foliate decoration. The underside is concave and has a rectangular attachment loop.The object measures 34.7mm long by 17.3mm wide and 10.8m thick. The weight is 7.17g.
