Description: | A post-Medieval cast copper-alloy mount or possible belt hook dating from 1600-1700 AD.The mount is sub-triangular in plan. It has a rounded knop at the wider end which is itself rounded, and a smaller single knop with a rectangular collar at the opposite end. The front is convex and is decorated with a floral design which was probably gilded. The gilding does not survive, but the other areas are covered by a red coloured lacquer. The rear face is concave and has two integral spikes situated along the longitudinal centre-line, one in the rounded knop and one in the plate. These spikes are circular in cross-section but have broken off.Similar mounts have been recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database. See IOW-47F654, finds from Hoby with Rotherby Parish, Leicestershire (LEIC-7678C4) and Shorwell Parish, Isle of Wight (IOW-626827).
