Description: | A post-Medieval copper-alloy strap mount.The head of the flat-sectioned mount consists of a roughly drop-shaped portion which has a rounded lobe at the centre of its base and is surmounted by a trilobate extension. A relief-moulded pattern of ridges and beaded lines decorates the upper surface, extending into a pair of swirls which make up the right- and left-hand sides of the apex. Traces of gilding remain on the upper surface. Two circular-sectioned rivets protrude from the reverse, one set above the other. The uppermost rivet projects straight backwards; the lower one has been bent upwards, presumably to secure it to the now-missing strap.Length: 30.7mm; width: 18mm; thickness: 2mm. Weight: 4.65g.
