Description: | A cast, copper-alloy, circular strap fitting or harness mount dating to the late Medieval to post-Medieval period. The mount is domed and has a moulded knop at the apex with a concave centre. There is a concentric ridge along the border and two, concentric, moulded rings between the border and the apex.. The reverse of the mount is undecorated and is hollow. There are two integral, opposing, rectangular platforms on the reverse edge, each with an integral, pointed rivet. The rivets are a flattened oval in section and both are bent inwards and upwards to secure the fitting onto a strap. The depth of the loops created by the rivets would have meant that the strap was approximately 3mm in thickness.
