Description: | A copper-alloy mount. The mount has what appears to be scallop shell shaped knops at each end and an oval centre. There is an attachment spike at each end on the reverse. These spikes suggest that the object was mounted on to leather, so it is likely that this is a belt or strap fitting of some sort. The object is 20.5 mm long and 7 mm wide. The patina of the metal has a slight red hue. This and the style of the object suggests a post-medieval date, and the object probably dates from the 17th to the 18th century. | 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
