A copper alloy strap fitting, probably a belt mount, dating to the 17C. The mount consists of a sub-rectangular plate with curved edges. From the reverse project a pair of integral rectangular-sectioned prongs for attachment which would have formed a sub-rectangular loop.. The length is 27mm, the width is 18mm and the weight 3.86g. Such mounts with integral prongs may have been from harness straps. Read (2001:28 and fig 21) no.315 from East Devon is similar although with an oval rather than rectangular central section; he dates it to the 17th century. ◾Read, B., 2001 Metal art…

Post Medieval bone and yellow metal mount, pendant or brooch. The central neo-classical female bust has been carved out of bone and set into a beaded yellow metal, probably a gold alloy, oval band. At a later date this has been enclosed, probably as a repair, by a facetted yellow metal oval band. This bears scarring, possibly from mounts to make it useable as a mount, pendant or brooch. It is possible that original bone carving may have been done by a Napoleonic prisoner of war in order to earn some extra money. It is also possible that it was originally coated in another material, po…

Probably a Post Medieval copper alloy mount from a piece of furniture or possibly something like a tray. It is a vertical element, or post, from a miniature decorative railing. The horizontal section, or rail, was placed in the hollow aperture on the side of the post. A second post would then have retained the other end of the rail. Such rails were common place on items like serving trays, long case clocks, and crockery shelves. Dates to between c1660 and c1900 AD. There is a possibility that it may be an unusual form of top jaw screw from a Post Medieval flintlock pistol. The leng…

Late Medieval to Post Medieval lead alloy mount. It is a concave sided hexagon in plan. The inner face has a four sided void in one half and a central bent over spike that would have served as a means of attachment. The outer face rises semi abruptly from the rim to create a plateux. On this there is relief decoration in the form of a cinquefoil with a raised central pellet. There is basic veining to the petals of the cinquefoil. Probably dates to between c1400 and c1600 AD, but it may be later. The length is 31mm, the width is 30mm, thickness 7mm, and the weight 20.14g.
