Description: | Post medieval mount; cast copper alloy strap mount of probable 17th century date. The mount is tripartite in shape, with a round upper section, a longer, tapering middle section and a pointed lower section. There is a knop to either side, forming a ??collar?? between the middle and lower sections. The mount has two intergral fixing mounts extending from the reverse, both curled in towards the centre of the mount. Mounts of this kind are usually suggested to be from horse harness.
Length (as bent) 25.1mm, approximate length if straightened 29mm, width 7.4mm, thickness 6.0mm, weight 1.68g
