Description: | A copper alloy Post Medieval belt mount, formed in a key-hole shape with a trilobed terminal (the centre of the plate is triangular with a rounded knop at the wide end and the trilobed terminal at the pointed end). There is no decoration, just the remains of a tin coating. The spikes on the reverse do not appear to be made from the same piece of metal, nor do they appear to run through the mount. They seem to have a lozenge shaped head which has been soldered onto the back of the mount. The spike probably used to be bent to grip the leather, but they have broken off. The mount measures 36.7mm x 16.4mm x 5.8mm, and weighs 5.31g. There are examples of similar shape on the PAS database, records IOW-626827 and LON-FED881, which are dated to 1600-1700.
