Description: | A cast copper alloy strap fitting, a decorative mount. In plan, the mount is a sub drop-shape with a sub-lis shaped tip and with a sub trefoil shaped knop protruding from the base. The mount has curved edges. The upper surface is undecorated. The reverse is flat except for two integral circular sectioned rivets. One rivet is broken towards the base. This break is not recent. The other rivet is complete, and is bent horizontally pointing beyond the terminal of the mount. The remaining rivet tapers to a blunt point.
The surface of the mount has a mottled incomplete mid grey patina. It measures 34.87mm long, 17.44mm wide and 4.63mm thick, weighing 4.3g.
The strap fitting, a mount, probably dates to the late Medieval to early Post Medieval period, c. 1500 to 1700. | 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
