Description: | A Post-Medieval copper alloy strap fitting (belt mount), lozenge-shaped with a single integral attachment spike to the reverse. The head is entirely covered to the front with moulded pellets (eight around a central pellet). The spike has a square cross-section and the break is relatively recent. The object can be compared to an example illustrated in Read (2001, no. 253), dated to the second half of the 14th century, although perhaps a 15th - 16th century date is more likely, as suggested in NMS-F3EF31 on this database.Measures 18.71x11.84mm with a depth of 2.02mm on the head and a height of 17.74mm with the attachment spike. It weighs 1.87g.
