Description: | A copper alloy belt or strap mount in the form of a Tudor rose, dating from the early post-Medieval period, AD1500 - 1650. The underside is flat and the upper side carries a moulded design in low relief consisting of a central annulet, surrounded by a circle of six other annulets, in the centre of a six-petalled flower. On the outer edge of the mount there is a triangular knop between each pair of petals, representing leaves or sepals. On the reverse are two mounting spikes; the points of both have broken away and are missing. There are traces of gilding remaining on the upper side of the mount, which otherwise has a patchy, dark green patina. It is 24.2mm in diameter and 6.5mm thick. It weighs 4.54gm.A number of similar mounts can be found on the database; compare for example references BERK-BB52C8 and SUSS-146835.
