A post-medieval copper alloy asymmetrical belt mount with integral lugs dating to the 17th Century. The plate of the mount is slightly convex and broadly oval in plan. A rounded terminal, decorated with grooves, projects from the narrow end of the object. At the opposite wider end is a similar but incomplete projection.
Two longitudinally placed integral lugs extend from the reverse. The object has a reddish-green patina. Similar examples of asymmetrical mounts are illustrated in Read (2001) p34, fig.19, all of which the author dates to the 17th Century.
