Description: | A silvered copper-alloy belt mount, probably post-medieval, c. 1600-1700. The main body of the mount is a narrow, triangular shield shape, which is connected by a narrow neck at the top of the shield to a circular portion. Traces of silvering remain on the front of the mount. The pointed end of the shield has broken away and is missing. The reverse carries the remains of two mounting points (integral spikes) and the suggestion that there may have been a third between the remaining two. These probably went through the leather and bent over, and they have now broken at the bend. It is 34.3 mm long, 13.7mm wide, and 4.8mm thick. It weighs 4.71gm. A similar example is LVPL-33ED70.
