Description: | SilverMount. Concavo-convex cast plaque with six integral pins of length 6mm on the reverse. The convex display face bears impressed or stamped motifs: a pair of elongated ovals with billeted borders, with pellets at either end and where they meet; corner motifs of inward-pointing arrows with three sub-triangular hatched stamps between each, all within linear borders. Outside these borders the corners of the plaque are crescentic, with sub-rectangular zones of hatched decoration between them, rendered with a stamp of a diagonal line with triangular or toothed ornament. Dr Kevin Leahy kindly suggests this object may be from the decoration of a belt; the pins, which are all clenched flat against the reverse suggest it would be fixed to leather. Suggested date: Modern, 1830-1880.Length: 34.8mm, width: 21.3mm, Thickness (clear of pins): 1.4mm, Weight: 7.40gms.
