Description: | A copper-alloy belt mount of probable 17th or 18th century AD date. It has been suggested that these mounts may have been worn with naval uniform. For similar examples, see PAS record nos. BH-F68964 and BH-7D0728. The object has been cast in one piece and the top section bent backwards to form a loop, thus enabling it to be clipped to a belt. The front part of the mount is roughly tongue-shaped, tapering from top to bottom before widening slightly at the rounded bottom end. A transverse ridge marks the top of this front part. The folded tab is of thin section, with flat surfaces, and widens out into a rounded terminal which is wider than the rest of the mount.The object is slightly corroded. It measures 42.9mm long, 13.2mm wide and 10.6mm thick. The weight is 6.74g.
