Description: | An incomplete copper alloy strap fitting / mount, of probable Post Medieval dating (AD 1500 to AD 1700).The mount is lozenge or diamond shaped. None of the edges are complete, all have old post depositional breaks. Two incomplete integral attachment spikes, with a square cross section are present at either end of the mount on the reverse. The front is decorated with a central pellet with square cells around it.It measures 18.6 mm in length, 12.9 mm wide and 5.3 mm thick (including spike), 2.8 mm thick (not including spike). It weighs 2.3 g.The mount is a mid brown colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in a loss of the majority of the original surface detail.
