Description: | Cast copper alloy bar mount with two spikes for attachment. The mount consists of a flat bar with expanded circular ends. The bar has reounded ends and double concave sides with cast counter relief decoration. There are two spikes at either end of the back of the bar - both are subrectangular in section are bent inwards towards the centre of the bar, one of which has broken of just before its terminous. Length 24mm, width 14 mm, thickness (i.e. including longest spike) 15.1, weight 2.8g. Margeson (1993) suggests that such mounts are probably 16th-17th century, for use on leather belts, straps or harness, as belt stiffeners or for securing the end of a strap after it is looped through a buckle. | 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: | 1500
