Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy strap fitting or belt mount, of Post Medieval dating (AD 1500 to AD 1700).The mount is assymmetrical in shape and rectangular in cross section. The front consists of a sub lozenge shape, terminating in rounded knops at both top and bottom. The reverse is flat. It is plain and undecorated. Two incomplete integrally cast attachment spikes, both with rectangular sections are present on the reverse of the mount, one towards the top and one towards the base.It measures 33.7 mm in length, 17.8 mm wide and 2.4 mm thick. It weighs 4.0 grams.The mount is a mid green to brown colour, with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the ploughsoil, has resulted in a loss of some of the original surface detail.
