Description: | A complete Medieval cast copper alloy belt mount with separate rivets (1350-1450 AD). The mount consists of a circular plan central domed boss with two projecting circular lobes each of which is pierced with one rivet. The rivets remain intact. The central dome of the mount has been decorated with an incised design of diagonal cross-hatching over the entire surface. On the reverse of the mount, the central boss is concave. Here the surface is badly concreted. From the centre of each of the two smaller lobes project the rivets that would have attached the mount to the strap. The mount measures 17.8m long, 8.4mm wide and 3.7mm thick. It weighs 1.01 grams. Egan and Pritchard (1991) illustrate a range of similar mounts, pp.176-179, dated to the 13th and 14th centuries.
