Description: | Medieval or post medieval copper alloy mount, 40mm in length, 32mm wide and 6mm thick, with a weight of 16.78grams. The object is quatrefoil in form and rectangular in cross section. It consists of an integral suspension loop, which shows signs of wear, sitting above a quatrefoil plate with incised recesses dividing each lobe on each face. The object is split in two across its lower half to accomodate a strap and there is a rivet holding the two sides together in the centre of the lower lobe. There are a further two holes, probably for rivets, one in each of the side lobes. In the centre there is one central hole showing on both faces, but on one this is surrounded by four closely place holes. The item appears to be a strap end or possibly part of harness fitting?
