Description: | Late Medieval belt fitting, of open-work design.
It is rectangular in shape and ornamented on each of its long sides with wave-like crests. The two shorter sides are occupied by an elaborate stylised fleur-de-lys. On the reverse a stud remains which would have attached the mount to a leather strap.
The belt-mount is silver-gilt and dates from the late fifteenth or early sixteenth centuries. Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. | 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: | 1400
