Description: | A post medieval copper alloy mount from a belt or strap from horse harnesses that would also act as a belt stiffener dating 16th - 17th century. This mount is U-shaped with two inward pointed rounded projections near the terminals, there are two integral bent-over spikes on the reverse. The spikes each have a circular cross-section and are bent-over to leave a rectangular space (length: 18.05mm, width: 5.72mm). The front surface of the mount is decorated with a symmetrical foliate design with a central rose. The bent-over spikes on the reverse are very similar to the bar mounts from belts or straps, however the shape of this mount is different. The decoration and the spikes are consistent with a 16th - 17th century date.Dimensions: length: 27.96mm; width: 28.77mm; thickness: 9.86mm; weight: 10.09g.
