Description: | Cast copper alloy mount of probable medieval or post medieval date (1350-1550). The mount is sub oval in plan and domed in section (D-shaped). It measures 21.7mm length, 12.1mm maximum width and is 3.6mm thick. It weighs 2.03 grams. The upper and lower surfaces are undecorated. The reverse of the mount is hollow with one central pin. This pin is broken but would have been sub-rectangular in section. The mount is a mid green colour with a polished patina which has been abraded and rolled in the plough soil causing it to become slightly a symmetrical in plan. There are also large areas of active corrosion present on both faces. Mount similar to these were used as decoration on harness and similar leather belts.
