Description: | Incomplete Early Post-Medieval copper alloy mount, probably from a sword belt, with one damaged attachment spike. It measures 39.98x18.82x2.03mm and weighs 7.19g.It has one tri-lobed end, the edges below curving inwards in a C- and reversed C-shape. The opposite end of the mount, below a transverse rib, is rounded to the front with vertical mouldings and a knop projecting below. The decoration within the remaining triangular area is foliate and symmetrical.Given its similarity to the tri-lobe ended and foliate-decorated sword belt fittings, it seems likely this was a belt mount forming part of a sword belt set, to match with other hooks and eyes. 16th/ 17th century.
