Description: | Medieval copper alloy belt mount. The object consists of a bar with one central and two terminal lobes. The bar is roughly semi-circular in section. The whole object is slightly bowed, with the ends bending backwards.The sides of the central lobe have indentations. Other examples of this type (e.g. DENO-606026, BERK-4A90F4, LVPL-7871A6) have transverse lines right across the central lobe, so it seems likely that this mount originally had the same decoration which has now worn away.No means of attachment are visible on this object, but mounts of this type were usually riveted to a strap with one rivet through each terminal lobe.The object is 37mm long, 9mm wide, 5mm thick and weighs 2.18g.
