Description: | Cast copper alloy post medieval mount. The mount is lozenge shaped in plan and flat in section. The front is decorated with an inset border of raised moulded dots that echo the lozenge shape, with a single raised dot at the centre. To the reverse of the mount are the two integral, pointed lugs, now bent down and towards each other. Beneath the lugs appears to be a surviving fragment of leather or textile, dark brown in colour. The mount is abraded and the original surface is missing. Exposed surfaces are mid green. The mount is 20.88mm long, 14.74mm wide, 2.56mm thick and weighs 2.66g. Similar mounts can be seen in Read, 2001, Metal artefacts of antiquity, figure 20.
