Description: | A cast lead mount or similar decorative ornament. The mount takes the shape of a flower, comprising three concentric rings of pellets on the obverse. The decoration is in raised relief. The reverse of the object is flat, but heavily corroded. The reverse is undecorated. The mount appears to have been broken, resulting in the removal of approximately one third of the object. There does not appear to be any visible form of attachment on the reverse of the artefact, but this could have been removed with the break or with the loss of the original surface from the reverse of the find. The lead is a dark whitish-grey colour; the surface of the metal is heavily corroded and pitted. This object probably dates to the 17th or 19th centuries.
