Description: | A cast copper alloy mount of Post-Medieval date. It has two semi-circular plates joined by a narrow central waist giving an almost shield-shaped or double pelta appearance, is slightly convex in profile and with a hollow back face. The front face of the mount has stepped outer curved edges and the remains of added white metal coating, particularly on the narrower waist. The back face is hollow, has similar traces of added white metal coating, and at each end has an integral lug. The lugs are oval shaped in section and have been bent at an angle of ninety degrees, presumably for attachment to a belt or strap. The entire object measures 18.75mm in length, 15.35mm in width, 6.55mm in thickness including lugs, and weighs 2.77g. This mount is probably from a strap or belt of Post-Medieval date. Two similar examples are noted on the PAS database (ESS-8A7D05 and BH-965441) and dated between the 16th and 19th centuries AD.
