Description: | Medieval copper alloy belt or strap mount of 13th or 14th century dateThe mount is incomplete, missing one of the pins (with a length of 29.5mm, an overall depth of 5.5mm and a weight of 2.1g). The mount is triangular (26.1mm x 16.2mm and 1.5mm thick) and has closely spaced horizontal ribs, producing a corrugated surface decoration. The mount was attached by two integral pins, positioned at the base and apex of the rear. One of the pins has been lost, leaving a square hole. The pin is of oval section, gradually tapering to the tip. The original surface of the mount has been lost, currently leaving a pale green to brown surface.Triangular belt mounts are a little unusual more difficult to parallel than the more common circular, rectangular forms.
