Description: | A small incomplete copper alloy belt or strap mount of Post-Medieval date. It comprises a flat plate that is bilobate with flattened triangular terminal ends and a narrow waist, and has neat faceted edges. The front face has traces of a possible white metal coating and extensive tool or polishing marks. The back face is flat and undecorated. At each end are the remains of integrally cast attachment lugs or studs, one of which is missing due to old breaks. These are oval shaped in section, curve sharply outwards and taper to a point. The entire object measures 20.39mm in length, 10.15mm in width, 1.46mm in thickness, and weighs 1.87g. This attachment lugs on the back face and the extensive toolmarks on the front suggest this object is of Post-Medieval date, probably from the 16th-17th centuries AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
