These items clearly demonstrate the interchangeability of forms of mount on one category of strap.

CIRCULAR MOUNTS WITH PENDENT MOTIFS

Copperalloy

1187 TL74 acc. no. 2398 (context 368) ceramic phase 12 fig 136 & colour pl 5B Thirteen composite loops, in varying States of com-pleteness, along centre of leather strap, 127xl2mm (tom off at one end, strap-end no. 588 on the other); the surviving parts of the mounts suggest that each consisted of a stamped circular sheet with an engrailed edge, d 8.5mm, with oblique, lines (cable pattem)

around a domed centre; the single rivet has a rove, and a looped end at the front with a freely moving U-section sheet ring.

The following iron items (from the same deposit) suggest that the rings here are loops from incomplete sheet pendants. Cf also sexfoil no. 951/fig 119.

Iron

1188 TL74 1096 (368)    12 fig 136 & colour pl 3

28 whole or fragmentary stamped-sheet pinnate leaves, each 21x59mm, with veining; a loop at the top of each is attached to the looped end of a rivet, which passes through a U-section sheet ring, and has a
