Description: | Copper alloy strap or belt mount dating to the post-medieval period (17th century). The mount is flat and in plan is 'U' shaped with rounded terminals that curve over to close the 'U'. It has gilded decoration on the front surface which is quite worn but appears to form an intertwining pattern. On the reverse, the mount has two integrally cast pointed rivets for attachment to a strap or belt.
The mount weighs 5.9g and measures 25.7mm in length, 23.8mm in width and 9.9mm in thickness. Similar mounts with integral lugs can be seen in Brian Reads 'Metal artefacts of Antiquity'. | 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
