Description: | The strap mount is made from cast copper alloy. It is a bar mount with central lobe. The length of the mount is 17.5mm and it is 9.9mm wide.
In plan the mount has a central sub-oval shaped lobe. The lobe in proflie is a semi-circular shape, and is hollow on the reverse. The lobe is decorated with four horizontal linear grooves. Protruding from two opposite sides of the central lobe are two short sub-rectangular shaped arms which expand in width slightly at the terminal. The arms are also semi-circular in section, but are more shallow than the central lobe. At the terminal of the arms there is a single circular rivet hole. One copper alloy, circular section hole rivet remains.
The surface of the mount has a dark grey coloured patina.
Egan and Pritchard consider these to be belt mounts. In Egan and Pritchard there is a very similar example, No. 1161, which only differs in size. These mounts tend to date to between mid 12th to mid 14th centuries. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1150
