Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy belt or harness mount dating to the third century AD. The fragment comprises a small portion of a flat openwork plate, which was probably originally oval or leaf-shaped in plan. The surviving openwork motif resembles a pelta with a small, triangular extension. On the underside of the plate, there extends a single, circular-section lug, the end of which has been slightly flattened by hammering. The fragment measures 24mm in length, 40mm in width and is 1mm thick. The lug measures 5mm in length and has a diameter of 2mm.The mount is slightly distorted and bent, suggesting that it may have been deliberately broken.
