Cast copper alloy strap mount probably dating to the Post-Medieval period. The object consists of a central lozenge with two rectangular strips projecting to each side. These have been bent backwards to form an integral attachment. In the centre of the lozenge is a face with large circular ears, pellet eyes and a smiling mouth. This is enclosed by a lozenge shaped pellet boarder. There is further decoration on the outer edge of the lozenge however it is unclear due to damage. Each rectangular side projection is decorated with three vertical ridges. The reverse of the object is undecorated. Traces of gilding remain on both the outer surface and on the reverse of the object. It has a light brownish patina.
