Description: | A copper-alloy mount of post-Medieval date.The plate-like mount has a circular aperture at the centre, flanked by two scalloped sides. A vertical column extends either side of the central aperture, splaying into wider terminals, creating a pair of semicircular cut-outs both above and below. A single circular rivet hole is located centrally, just below the straight top side, which is decorated with a ropework band above a groove. The base of the lower column is narrower than that at the top and terminates in a transverse groove above a ridge. Projecting from the base is a hemispherical moulding. The object measures 30.5mm long, 15.5mm wide, 2.9mm thick and weighs 3g.The form of this mount is typical of early post-Medieval sword-belt mounts (cf. BH-C0D951); however, it lacks a suspension loop and so it's exact function is uncertain.
