Description: | A probably Late Medieval (to Early Post-Medieval, c.1400-1600) copper alloy mount in the shape of a Gothic letter 'B', and now in two pieces. It measures 35.18x28.42x2.90mm and weighs 5.70g.To the reverse are three integrally cast rivets, now squashed flat and of irregular shape. The front of the mount is smooth and flat while the reverse is hollowed in in the areas between those where the integral rivets are.The breaks are worn, suggesting old-ish damage, although both pieces were found in close proximity to each other.The mount may be from a tomb chest or similar, or possibly a strap mount (although a little on the large side for the latter).
