Title
Post-Medieval Mount
Description
English: A cast copper-alloy strap fitting, probably from a sword or baldrick belt of Post-Medieval date. It has a flat, circular openwork plate that has moulded relief decoration on the front face. This comprises a man in the moon motif, the ends of the crescent moon curving round to hold in place an openwork star of six points. The face of the man is slightly worn, but has a slightly recessed oval shaped eye, a prominent nose and lips. Behind the head and moon is an integrally cast circular suspension loop with circular perforation. The back face is flat and has incomplete integrally cast cylindrical rivets to each side. The entire object has a dark brown/black patina and shows signs of post-depositional wear and corrosive products. It measures 25.27mm in height, 36.23mm in width including suspension loop, 2.52mm in thickness, and weighs 6.65g. This is an eye section from a Post-Medieval sword or baldrick belt that would have originally attached to a near identical hooked section. It finds a close parallel in an example from Devon published by Read (2008: no. 805) and dates to the 16th or 17th century AD.
