Description: | A complete cast copper alloy strap fitting of post-medieval date. The strap fitting is broadly a quartefoil in plan with two longer arms flanking more squat, rounded lobes on the left and right. There is no decoration visible on the upper surface however the majority of these mounts were gilded, although no trace survives. The reverse of the mount retains both integral attachment spikes. These belt decorations were popular during the 16th and 17th centuries and come in a large array of shapes and sizes; suggested date AD 1500-1650.
