Description: | Copper alloyMount, probably for suspension of a purse bar or related item. Cast square ended plate of thickness 1.8mm with a projecting lug with an angular expanded or rhomboid end. This lug is bent back and secured at its rhomboid end to the square plate by a stout rivet of diameter 3.6mm and length circa 4mm - the rivet may alternatively engage a protruding socket, as there is no sign of its passing through the square plate. The loop thus formed retains a round section ring of band thickness 2.8mm and diameter of 16mm, worn thinner at one point on its circumference. Suggested date: Late Medieval, 1350-1400.Length (overall): 39mm, Width (plate): 15mm, Thickness (overall at rivet position): 7.3mm, Weight: 6.47gms.
