Description: | A copper-alloy fragment of a post-Medieval strap mount.The surviving piece is irregular in plan, with a trefoil terminal at its intact end, a moulded vine-scroll pattern and an off-centre rivet hole.Length: 23.84mm; width: 20.51mm; thickness: 2.76mm. Weight: 4.8g.This piece probably represents the left-hand end of a 16th century looped strap mount, a complete example of which is illustrated and discussed in Brian Read's Metal Artefacts of Antiquity (2001: 39/Fig. 26, no. 373). These looped mounts would have been attached to sword belts and would have operated in conjunction with hooked scabbard fittings, such as PAS record BH-9715BD.
