Description: | Cast tinned copper alloy belt mount or belt stiffener, in the form of a fleur de lis, with two integral pointed lugs at the back. At the wider end there is a trefoil terminal with everted pointed bifid knops on either side of a central pointed knop divided by oblique grooves. The body of the mount is notched half way down each side before continuing towards a pointed terminal. The two lugs on the back of the mount are broken and only the bases remain that are 1-2 mm in height. Most of the tinning has survived on the upper face with some corrosion and pitting.Read (2001) illustrates similar mounts with trefoil terminals on page 35, fig.20, nos.296 & 299, which are both dated from the 17th century.
