Description: | A complete, post-Medieval, cast, copper-alloy, belt or strap mount. In plan, there is a trefoil-shaped plate with open work. Issuing from the upper edge is a further, solid lobe and, from the lower edge, a sub-rectangular projection. The openwork, trefoil-shaped plate is formed by two circular holes on a horizontal axis below which is a third hole. One of the upper holes has not cast properly and remains filled. On the reverse, both the upper and lower projections have an integral, pointed attachment spur. Both these pointed spurs have been bent over to secure the attachment of the mount. The whole mount has been silvered or tinned.
