Description: | A cast copper-alloy mount of Post-Medieval date. It has a roughly circular plate that has a flat back, slightly rounded front face and extends to projecting terminals at top and bottom. The terminal at the top is oval shaped with a small circular knop. At the base the plate narrows to a projecting oval shaped knop that has moulded transverse grooves perhaps intended to represent an acorn or similar decorative element. On the flat back face of the mount are two integrally cast rivets that are flat, triangular in form tapering to sharp points, and are folded over perhaps due to use-wear. The entire object has traces of an added white metal coating. It measures 38.38mm in length, 19.98mm in width, 2.20mm in thickness, and weighs 6.59g. This is a decorative Post-Medieval mount, probably from a strap or belt, and dates to the 16th or 17th centuries AD.
