Description: | A tinned copper alloy strap fitting or belt mount dating to the medieval period. The mount is domed and has four concentric rings decrasing in size up to the peak of the dome. A reccess in the peak may have held an insert although this seems unlikely. There are two integrally cast prongs on the reverse that would have attached the mount to the strap. Similar mounts with double integral rivets or prongs are generally dated to the 14th and 15th century AD.
