Description: | A post medieval copper alloy mount dating to the period c. AD 1600 - 1700. The mount is triangular in shaape with two triangular projections on the top edge. It has two rivet holes positioned on the long axis, both of which retain the corroded remains of iron rivets. The mount tapers into an inward turning hook which curves backwards and touches the back of the plate. The mount is probably a sword belt fitting. Similar examples are published in Margeson, S, 1993, p.39 no. 258.
