Description: | Medieval copper alloy and gold belt? mount, 46mm long, 15mm wide and 1.5mm thick. The object is in fair condition and weighs 7.14grams. The object is rectangular in form and section and has a circular hole in each corner, one with intact copper alloy rivet. The whole surface is covered in incised diagonal cross hatching and above this, placed just above centre, is a shield device. This has a double border and contains an upright figure with a curling tail, probably a Lion? The upper part of the object is heavily gilded, although there are traces of gilding all over its upper surface. The object is probably a plate from a belt, which would have sat next to the buckle.
