Description: | A worn cast copper-alloy belt or strap mount of Post-Medieval date. It has an oval shaped plate with worn, moulded decoration on the front face that appears to depict a forward facing human face, the precise details uncertain due to the preservation of the object. At the top of the plate is an oval shaped terminal that has cross-hatched decoration and a small projecting circular knop. At the base is a semi-circular terminal with double transverse ridges. On the back face of the plate each of the terminals has an integrally cast lug that is flat, triangular in form and tapers to a sharp point, both lugs now folded at an angle of 90 degrees. The entire object measures 43.04mm in length, 23.05mm in width, 2.90mm in thickness and 9.25g in weight. This is a very worn copper-alloy belt or strap mount of Post-Medieval date, probably dating to the 17th or 18th centuries AD if not slightly later. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
