Description: | A cast copper-alloy belt mount or stud of Post-Medieval date. It has a flat plate that is in the form of a scallop shell with trefoil terminal at one end. On the front face are six incised grooves that radiate from the terminal to the outer edge of the shell to give it its scallop-shaped form. The back face is slightly concave and has two integrally cast lugs that are cylindrical in form and taper to rounded points that are now folded against the back face of the mount. The entire object measures 20.34mm in length, 18.01mm in width, 1.56mm in thickness, and weighs 2.28g. Near identical mounts are noted on the PAS database (for example SF-58EAF5, CORN-88BC72, SOM-8E0212, SF-74FC71 or SF-4B2BF3) and suggest a 16th or 17th century date for the current example. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
