Description: | A complete but worn copper alloy medieval belt mount. The mount is plano-convex in plan and has a large central lobe that is decorated with five raised ribs. Either side of this central lobe is a short arm with rounded terminal and a small copper alloy rivet to secure the fitting to the strap or belt. The reverse is flat. These fittings were common during the medieval period, dating from c. AD 1350-1400. Egan & Pritchard 1993:214 figure 134 no 1161 is similar to this example.
