Description: | A copper-alloy mount or strap fitting of early post-Medieval date.The upper portion of the mount comprises a flat-sectioned plate with scalloped sides which reflect the nature of the relief-moulded, foliate design occupying the upper surface. At the top and bottom, respectively, are the in situ remains of two iron rivets. A narrower 'arm' projects vertically downwards at the base, terminating in a vertically aligned discoidal plate with moulded 'sunburst' pattern on its upper surface.Dimensions: 39.1mm long, 16.8mm wide, 3.4mm thick. Weight: 4.64g.The design of this piece is typical of a series of sword-belt fittings, probably dating from around the 16th century (see Read 2001: fig. 26, nos. 372 and 373).
