Description: | Unidentified object. A rectangular silver plate with two integrally cast rings decorated with closely spaced ridges. In the centre of one ring is a rivet hole, in the other are two sheet discs with notched edges, the upper one slightly smaller than the lower one, held in place with a ball headed rivet. The edges of the plate have either been cut or not well finished. The rivet is flush with the reverse of the plate which also has lines showing the object was cast in cuttle fish. Traces of gilding on the rings, sheet discs and rivet. Although the object is unidentified it is probably a belt mount, but it may also relate to the dress hooks illustrated in Gaimster (2002), Fig.5 and 15. 16th - 17th century. Measuring 17 x 9mm.
