Description: | A worn copper alloy strap fitting, a decorative belt mount of medieval date. The mount has an oval shaped body with an integral knop at one end, possibly intended to be a shell (relating to pilgrimage). The body is decorated with an uneven cross-hatching. In the centre of the body there is a single rivet hole with an intact copper alloy rivet for securing the mount to the leather strap. The back is concave, hollow and undecorated. Egan & Pritchard (2002:200 - 214) illustrates mounts of similar decorative style (see No. 1083 and 1160, 1161). The date from c. AD 1150-1400.
