Description: | Cast copper alloy post-medieval mount. The mount is drop-shaped in plan and flat in section. It has a circular perforation at the broad end. Around the edge of the mount is a border of raised dots. There seems to be a much worn inner border that encompasses the edge of the perforation. The reverse of the mount is plain. The two integral pointed lugs are visible, but truncated.The original surfaces are missing and the object now has an abraded surface that is brown with patches of light green. The broken lug ends are worn, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The mount is 21.34mm long, 10.14mm wide, 1.44m thick and weighs 1.13g. It is 17th century in date. A similar mount, with perforation, can be seen in Read, 2001, Metal Artefacts of Antiquity, figure 20, number 302.
