Description: | A cast copper alloy decorative strap fitting (belt mount) of medieval date The mount has a domed circular mid-section and two short rectangular tabs either side. Through each tab is a small rivet hole which would have secured the fitting to a strap. Across the girth of the central dome is a cast recess with two ribs running across its width; these are decorated with multiple scores along their lengths. This form of belt mount was very popular in the medieval period and was in use from at least AD 1150-1450 (Egan and Pritchard 1991:26 no. 214).
