Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy mount or strap fitting, of Late Post Medieval dating (16th to 18th Centuries AD).The mount is sub square in plan, and rectangular in profile. The mount has rounded corners. The front has been decorated with five circular depressions. Two small copper alloy rivets are present for attachment purposes. The rivets are incomplete, and both are circular sectioned (diameter 1.27mm). The reverse is plain and undecorated.The mount is a mid to dark green colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of some surface detail.The mount measures 13.43mm in length, 14.02mm wide and 3.66mm thick. It weighs 1.1 grams.No direct parallel has yet been found for this mount, but the style and method of attachment is suggestive of Late Post Medieval dating (16th to 18th Centuries AD).
