Description: | Complete copper alloy, post medieval mount. This mount is an open lozenge shape in plan (i.e. is lozenge shaped with a lozenge shaped piercing), and flat in section. It is worn and abraded and the original surface is missing. There are no surviving traces of decoration. It has a patchy dark green and light green patina with bright green patches of corrosion. To the reverse of the mount are two integral, pointed lugs, now bent inwards towards the middle. The mount is 29.42mm long, 20.76mm wide, 1.38mm thick and weighs 3.10g. It dates to the 17th century. Read, 2001, Metal artefacts of Antiquity, illustrates numerous, though not an exact, example of this type of mount.
