Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy strap mount, missing its hook at one end, with openwork decoration in the form of a trefoil plate with three apertures: two circular and one lozenge-shaped. There are two iron rivets still in the rivet holes at either end of the mount, one within a semi-circular terminal and the other within a rounded terminal, with a worn and broken bifurcate collar, which would have originally extended into the hook. The hook would have held a ring which would have suspended a secondary object from the strap that the mount was riveted to.See IOW-0A0576 for a similar example on the database.Read (2008) illustrates a similar example on page 232, No.828, which is dated from the 17th century.
