Description: | A cast copper-alloy mount of Post-Medieval date. It is in the form of a stylised fleur-de-lis with central pointed oval shaped ornament flanked by two curved ornaments. The ornament to the right has a central circular aperture, while that to the left has a punched crescent on the front face, presumably where a hole was intended to have been punched during manufacture, but never fully completed. At the base of the fleur are two transverse grooves beneath which are three triangular shaped radiating projections. On the flat back face of he mount are two integrally cast central lugs that are cylindrical in form, taper to sharp points and are folded over to form a neat oval shaped aperture. The mount measures 18.11mm in length, 15.97mm in width, 2.16mm in thickness, and weighs 2.47g.This is a decorative strap or belt mount of Post-Medieval date similar to examples noted on the PAS database (for example SWYOR-C46C72, KENT-136A44 or BH-4A7EC1). It is of probable 16th-17th century AD date.
