Description: | Cast copper alloy belt mount dating to the Medieval period, (1100-1500). It is domed with a central circular section and has a sub-rectangular terminal at each end. Each terminal is perforated and would have been used to attach the mount to a belt with a rivet. A rivet remains in one of the terminals and measures 1.87mm in diameter. The central lobe has been decorated with five grooves. The ridges are decorated with a series of small transverse grooves. The object has a dark brown patina and is in very good condition.This form of belt mount was very popular in the medieval period and was in use from at least 1150-1450 AD. Similar examples can be seen in Egan and Pritchard's book on Medieval London, p.213-4 (2002). Similar examples which can be found on the database is LVPL-F028C2 and LVPL-7D5A62.
