Description: | Sheet copper alloy fragment of a mount engraved with floral decoration consisting of foliate, fleurets, leaves and circles. The mount is shaped like a fleur de lis in plan, with a trefoil upper edge, two convex sides or ogees and two broken projecting terminals at the base. Bailey (2004) illustrates buttons with similar incised patterns: one example on page 54, Fig.9, No.109, which is dated to the 18th century. Read (1988) illustrates a similar style of mount being used as a keyhole escutcheon on page 203, No.1415, which is dated to the 18th century.
