Description: | Medieval copper alloy belt mount probably dating to the later half of the 14th century.The belt mount is complete and is of bar-mount form and has two smaller terminal lobes, flanking a central lobe (with a length of 23.9mm and a weight of 1.9g). The two smaller terminal lobes (5.1 & 5.3mm wide and 2.3 & 2.6mm deep) are perforated to take separate attachment rivets for securing the mount. The rear of the terminal lobes is flat. One of the copper alloy attachment rivets remains in place (with a length of 3.7mm and a diameter of 1.5mm). The central domed lobe (with a width of 12.5mm and a depth of 4.0mm) is decorated with a crudely incised cross hatched design. The rear of the central lobe is dished. The surface pale green to grey patina.The mount can be paralleled with two examples excavated in London (Egan & Pritchard, 1991, p 213, Nos. 1160-1) , recovered from contexts dated to between 1350-1400.
