Description: | A copper alloy probable mount or strap distributer, probably Post Medieval in date. It is sub-rectangular in shape with florid scrolls and ornate decoration. The decorative grooves have a black substance in them. There is a possible zoomorphic face at one end where there appears to be a broken loop. The other end also appears broken. It is likely that there was another loop at this end, allowing the object to function as a link between two straps. There is no other obvious method of attaching the mount. The metal is poor quality and corroded. The black finish is often found on seventeenth century objects and a similar date is suggested for this example.
