Description: | A complete copper-alloy probable mount for which no parallel could be found. This mount seems most likely to be medieval or post medieval in date due to its style. It consists of a horizontal bar which has an arched neck which flares into a roughly pointed oval shaped terminal end which has an in situ copper-alloy rivet through its centre. The object measures 41.4mm in total length, the horizontal bar is 23mm in length and 4.7mm in width, the neck is 17.3mm in length and c9.7mm in width, it has a waisted middle, finally the pointed oval shaped terminal is 23.2mm in length and 14.8mm in width. On the back face where the neck joins the terminal there is a lipped step. It therefore seems that this probable mount was riveted to another object, possibly a sheet copper-alloy vessel, and the T-shaped neck and bar projected either above or below this other larger object. This probable mount has a dark green patina with patches of black, especially on the inner face, this may be due to it being exposed to an open fire, as copper-alloy cooking vessels are and they often have a similar patina.
