Description: | Post-medieval copper alloy harness mount or strap mount, flat with two trefoil terminals, a pair of integral rectangular sectioned attachment spikes on the reverse and symmetrical foliar decoration on the front face. The latter is very close to that found on a common and widespread variety of sword belt hanger (e.g. Read 2008, no. 793). This may suggest that this object was part of a baldric. The bent-over spikes suggest strap or straps c.9mm thick. For a very similar mounts see NCM-473D32 and SOM-3CC463. Length 26.5mm. Width 17.5mm. c.1550 - c.1700.Field JH2 | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
