Description: | A cast copper alloy belt mount dating to the 17th Century. Complete apart from the reverse prongs being broken and worn.The mount is heart shaped and hollow backed. There is a collar at the point end of the heart separating the heart from the open-work fleur-de-lys which points downwards as a terminal. Belt mounts of this type are common and many show signs of gilding, although this example has no gilding due to corrosion. The copper alloy has a reddish brown patina, with mid-green corrosion in areas.
