Description: | Small cast copper alloy strap mount dating from the medieval period, that is the 13th or 14th century. The mount has a large, circular central lobe and a smaller, pierced, sub-circular lobe at either end. It would have been attached by rivets through the pierced terminal lobes. The central lobe is domed and is decorated on the front face with five transverse incised lines. The ridges left between these lines have been hatched, to give the appearance of beading. The reverse of the mount has a concave aperture behind the central lobe. Ref: See Egan's "Dress Accessories", pages 213 and 214, especially mounts 1160 and 1161.
