Description: | A cast copper alloy belt or strap mount of post-Medieval date, AD 1600 - 1700. The upper part of the body is in the form of a fleur de lis, there is then a narrow waist before the lower part of the body which is in the shape of an oval (or inverted heart) with a rounded and blunted lower point. The upper surface of the mount carries moulded decoration within a raised border. This is somewhat corroded but in the lower body it appears to be a pair of crescents or scrolls with a large pellet below and a triangle of three small pellets above. The reverse of the mount is flat and carries two mounting spikes, one of which has broken and is incomplete. The mount has a rough, grey green patina. It is 22.2mm long, 10mm wide and 6.6mm thick. It weighs 1.98gm. A similar object is IOW-C534A3.
