Copper-alloy belt-mount with central domed circular lobe and two smaller terminal lobes. The central lobe is decorated with five transverse grooves and both terminal lobes have a hole for a rivet. One small copper-alloy rivet survives. Similarly decorated bar-mounts with central and terminal lobes come from 13th- and 14th-century contexts in London (Egan & Pritchard 1991, nos.1154-1162).
