Description: | A cast copper alloy late medieval / early post-medieval belt or strap mount. The mount is cruciform in plan with large rounded terminals to each arm. There is a raised linear moulding running both across the width and up and down the length of the joining arms of the cross, seperating the mount into quartered panels. Each of these panels contains moulded scroll designs but unfortunately these are too worn to make out any further detail. The reverse of the mount is plain but there are the remains of two integrally cast copper alloy prongs for attachment onto a (probable) leather strap. There is the remains of gilding on the upper surface of the mount. Late 15th to 17th century.
