A cast copper-alloy strap fitting or decorative belt mount of Post-Medieval date. It has a flat rectangular shaped plate with with trefoil- shaped terminals at each end. The front face has moulded and enamelled decoration comprising central motifs with inlaid white and green enamel. The back face is flat and undecorated, and at each end has incomplete but integrally cast rivet spikes that would have secured the mount to a leather strap. The style of enamelling suggests a 17th century AD, or possibly slightly later, date.
