Description: | A copper alloy tear-dropped shaped mount. The front surface of the mount has been gilded. There is a knop on the rounded end of the mount and a trilobate knop on the pointed end of the mount. The reverse is undecorated and ungilded. On the reverse two spikes survive which would have held the mount onto either wood or leather. The mount appears to be complete apart from the broken spike. Much of the artefacts original surface has been lost and the gilding only survives in traces. The metal is a mid brownish-green colour. This mount probably dates from the post medieval period, circa 1600-1800.
