Description: | A copper-alloy mount of post-medieval date. The object is a damaged belt or suspension mount probably dating from the 17th century AD. The piece is symmetrical. Each side is roughly semi-circular in shape but tapers gradually at one end to a damaged section. This section splays outwards on each side and may originally have been part of a suspension loop. An indented vertical line separates the two halves of the piece. The reverse is flat and has a single projecting copper-alloy rivet of rectangular section. This rivet measures 9mm long and is bent slightly towards the possible loop end. Overall, the object measures 30.9mm long by up to 26.1mm wide and 10.3mm thick. The plate is 1mm thick. The weight is 5.67g. | 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: | 1600
