Description: | An incomplete post medieval belt mount or strap fitting of Post Medieval date (1500 - 1700). The mount is cast from copper alloy, and is flat in cross-section apart from a projecting stud. The mount has a simple openwork design consisting of lentoid lobes, each with a single lentoid piercing. The lobes share their innermost sides and meet at the middle. This artefact has three intact lentoid lobes and the stub of a fourth one. Of the three remaining lobes the two facing ones are equal sided, with the one inbetween having elongated outer sides. The complete mount was probably symetrical, with the missing lobe also being elongated, making the original mount a sub-oval in plan. On the rear of the apex of the longer lobe is a bent stud, and it seems probable that the missing opposite lobe also had a stub at its apex.The mount is dark green with patches of light geen corrosion all over. Its width is 18.4mm, 20.9mm of its length remain, and its 1.5mm thick. It weighs 1.3g.
