Description: | Copper alloy mount with cast decoration and inscription, probably dating to the 17th century. The mount is flat and rectangular in shape; it tapers slightly to one end. There are three circular drilled holes set at equal distances down the centre of the mount. At least two of these holes have been added after casting as they cut through the inscription and decoration. The mount is divided into four sections with three bands of decoration. These consist of plain lines with a row of small interlocking triangles between. The largest panel has the work 'BROMED' in capital letters with one of the rivet holes obscuring the 'E'. The reverse of the mount if flat and undecorated. The function is unclear, it is possibly part of some sort of clasp for fastening a box. The mount weighs 8.94g and measures 57.84mm in length, 17.47mm in width and 1.72mm in thickness
