Description: | Medieval tinned sheet copper alloy mount in the form of a pentagonal cone or cinquefoil with engrailed base, a central perforation, probably for a rivet, and an engraved foliar motif repeated along the centre of each side. Two sides have been squashed inwards. The original shape was far more elevated than the normal run of medieval flower-shaped belt mounts (Egan and Pritchard 1991, 184-95), and perhaps it was attached not to a strap but to something less likely to be damaged by movement and impact. Height c.15mm. Diameter c.18mm. 14th - 15th century.
