Description: | A post-medieval mount manufactured from a sheet of cast copper alloy, with impressed or stamped decoration. The mount is thin and roughly square in shape. The decoration consists of a long cross potent with a short line in each quarter, in relief to the main plate. The arms of the cross point towards the corners of the mount. The reverse shows the same design in negative relief. In each corner of the mount there is a small hole for a rivet or some kind of attachment loop. The edges of the mount are worn, broken and thinned. The metal surface is dark greenish grey in colour. This object probably dates to the late post-medieval period, circa 1600 - 1800 AD.
