Description: | An incomplete gilt copper alloy belt mount or bar. Only the lobed terminal of the object remains which is possibly in the form of a stylised fleur-de-lis. Terminal has a rounded projecting lobe and is pierced with a circular rivet hole for attachment. Below the hole is a transverse moulded ridge. The remains of gilding can be seen on the outer face of the object. The rear of the object is undecorated and is slightly concave.Similar terminals can be seen on the database on objects such as NMS-842215, YORYM-49D392 and LVPL-55D126 as well as on smaller mounts such as IOW-0AEEC3. The object is from some form of strap, a harness or sword belt, and stylistically related to pendant suspension mounts such as examples from London (Griffiths N. in Clark 1995, fig. 52).Dimensions: 25mm in length, 8mm in width, 3mm thick, 2.25g
