A cast copper-alloy belt mount of post-medieval date, AD1500 - 1700. The outer face of the mount has a scallop shell as terminals at each end separated by a vertically placed flat rectangular bar. The reverse of the mount has two integrally cast projections, both blunted by old breaks. Originally these would have been pointed spikes and would have pierced the leather strap on which it was mounted. The mount has a dark green patina on the outer face and a light brown reverse.
