Description: | A cast belt mount, in the form of a highly stylised scallop shell, with one separate rivet. Some surface decorative details are engraved. This should be contrasted with a rather more realistic example from an early 15th-century context in London (Dress Accessories no. 1083), but it is broadly comparable with mounts in the form of animal heads or crowned busts (Ivens et al. 1995, fig. 153 nos. 62-4). One very close parallel was found at Meols, Cheshire (Griffiths et al. 2007, no. 1141) and another at Barton Bendish (HER 13316). 14th - 15th century.
