Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy strap fitting or decorative belt mount dating to the post-medieval period. The mount is oval in pan with a large rounded knop at either end. The upper face is quite worn but appears to have moulded scrolling and foliate decoration. The reverse is plain and undecorated and although no trace now survives, would likely have had two integral spikes which would have secured the mount to the strap. The style of decoration is similar to that on dress hooks of the 17th century (Margeson:1993) so it probably dates to around this period.
