Description: | A cast copper-alloy belt or strap mount of Medieval date. It is disc shaped in form with a central circular aperture. Around the plate are three evenly spaced circular rivet holes each containing a separately cast copper-alloy rivet with flattened head, one of which retains a circular rove on its back face. The front face of the mount has incised decoration comprising single curved lines that run between each of the rivets forming three evenly spaced oval shaped fields around the outer edge of the plate. Each of these fields contains an incised central pointed oval shaped motif. The entire object measures 15.73mm in diameter, 0.91mm in thickness, and 1.16g in weight.This is a belt or strap mount of Medieval date. It finds parallels in similar examples from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991: nos. 795-796) and is of probable c.14th century AD date.
