Description: | A cast copper alloy strap mount. An asymmetrical decorated plate of curvilinear outline with two integral rivets at the back. The decoration comprises a octofoil at the base with a pointed lug below it. Above the octofoil the plate narrows and tapers and is decorated (going upwards) with a transverse bar, two curlicues and ends in an acorn-style lug at the point. A very similar mount is dated by Brian Read to the 17th century (see reference below). The back is undecorated and the two stubs of integral rivets are bent towards their respective ends of the mount.Reference: Read, B, 2001, Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, pages 28 &35, figure 30, number 294Date: Post-medieval - c. 1600 - 1699Dimensions: 29.52 mm x 12.42 mm x 5.84 mmWeight: 2.50 g
