Description: | Cast copper alloy strap mount dating from the Post-Medieval period. The object is octagonal in plan and raised in the middle (having slightly chamfered edges). Two oval sectioned tapering integral lugs or spikes project from the reverse of the object; one has broken off at the bend, and the other is complete but bent at 90 degrees in the middle. The mount has probably been fastened to a leather belt or strap and the lugs bent over to grip the leather. It is plain on the front. Mounts with two integral fixing rivets or spikes tend to date from the 17th century.Although a different shape, a stud with a similar fastening can be seen at LVPL-7726D8. Compare also WILT-788CE4 and IOW-113B22.
