Post Medieval Copper Alloy Belt Mount
Found by Steve Richards and recently identified by Mark Lodwick (FLO) as a Post

early 17th century in date. The form of the mount and the possible depiction of a ruff
(a frill of several folds of linen starched and worn around the neck) is consistent with
a 16th or early 17th century date for a mount.
