Description: | A probable incomplete copper alloy medieval belt mount. The object consists of a long, bent rectangular bar, D-shaped in cross-section, being flat to the reverse, c.25mm long, c.3mm wide and 1.8mm thick, which terminates in five-lobed shell-shape. There is a moulded rectangular collar before the terminal and hole of c.2mm diameter for a missing rivet piercing the terminal. At the opposite end is an old break; it is likely there would have been a second shell terminal here and that the object would have formed a bar mount for a belt.The object has an even mid-green patina and is slightly bent. In total it is 34.9mm long, 10.0mm wide, 2.25mm thick and weighs 1.52g.Two similar objects have been recorded on the database: a complete mount from Norfolk, NMS-64F6D2, and a similarly incomplete mount from the Isle of Wight, IOW-391592. Both of these have been given a broad medieval dating (1066-1500).
